Visits Details

21 Nov 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 10pm close. Arrival thwarted by cancelled train to the venue and intake by, earlier than previous years, a 10pm close every day. Volunteer resource shortages were blamed for the earlier closure time and reduced number of bars and beers. Good place and people as always here of course.
