My favourite of all ales is Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby Mild, although at 6% abv, it is hardly what you would call a session beer; it is, however, a great one for a beer festival. I enjoy sampling new beers at festivals, but beer festivals cannot come close to discovering a traditionally run, friendly boozer tucked away in a quiet corner and offering a variety of beautifully kept real ales and a comfortable atmosphere. We enjoy constructive criticism and are happy to make changes based on someone else’s ideas, so long as those ideas are grounded in practical measures. It is rather hard for us to make changes based on “I don’t like the article on the Red Lion”, but ‘‘It would look better if you did X to article layout” or the like can, and hopefully will, lead to improvements in the magazine.

  • LDWA London Summer Evening Walks 2010
    LDWA London Summer Evening Walks 2010 Thu 2 Sept 2010 Summer Evening Walk - London's Parks 7ml. Start Holland Park Tube stn 6.00 pm for a walk through Holland Park, Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park, St James Park to finish in Trafalgar Square. Pub Dry Shades, Whitehall. Ldr Rob Myers Summary: This additional summer evening walk was hastily arranged at the last moment in response to requests to extend the season. The email circulated just before the walk seemed to encourage some members to try a summer evening walk for the first time. On a perfect late summer night 22 walkers gathered at Holland Park. We did a circuit through this attractive park before proceeding to Kensington Gardens. Here we looked at the annual floral tributes left on the main gate of Kensington Palace on the anniversary of Princess Diana's death. The route through Kensington Gardens went passed the Diana Adventure Playground, the Flower Gardens and Speke's Monument before reaching the top of the Serpentine. Walking down the side of the Serpentine we crossed into Hyde Park and from there to Green Park and St James's Park. Leaving the parks we symbolically finished the last summer evening walk in Trafalgar Square. Due to the early sunset and early park closures it was decided to start the walk at 6 and finish at 8.15. This left plenty of time for socialising at the Old Shades pub which served excellent beer and probably the best sausage and mash that I have ever tasted. Rob Wed 25 Aug 2010 Summer Evening Walk - Regent's Park area 7ml.
