We are a small friendly group. At present we have between 8 – 10 members but we would like others to join who enjoy sampling Real Ale and having a good chat.

Recently the availability of food has been  a factor in deciding where we should visit but we will be reverting to treating ‘pub grub’ as a bonus instead of a necessity in future.

This situation with pubs now tending to carry only two or maybe three reals ales at a time is causing us to reconsider how we do things, previously we would aim to sample up to half a dozen halves  which is now very difficult to achieve. Our future plans which will include.:

     Placing less reliance on meals being available,

and

     Possibly visiting more beer festivals where a much greater variety of beers will be available.

Where possible the timing will remain as the FOURTH WEDNESDAY of the month from around 12:30/13:00hrs until around 14:30/15:00 hrs and beyond depending on the availability of buses.

Dates may be altered to fit in with any festivals or ad hoc arrangements but the lunch time slot will be maintained where possible.

 The venues will either be in Maldon or places on/close to direct bus routes serving Maldon [see below for current schedule].

If you would like to join us we will be pleased to see you, please let  Paul our co-ordinator know if you are interested and we will register you as a member of the group and send you updates of any changes along with details of the bus services that may be used for a particular visit.
