Stii-yaaahlll! A Wests, Norths, ThNRC Festival of Steel.

We're on!
The roving feast that is Wests Thursday Beers, again welcomes
Norths/ThNRC End of Year Awards to the Red Lion, Ealing.

Owned by og forumer @metrocammell,
it is now fully integrated into the Santa Maria pizzeria next door,
with piping hot pizzas served at your table.
https://www.santamariapizzeria.com/
gives you a link to the latest menu,
and both @Oliver Schick and myself can attest to the quality of the vegan pizzas.

The manager, Edin, has allocated us the 'back room' as used last year,
so we can easily accommodate 20+ attendees.

The Red Lion is a Fullers pub, with many beers (and some lagers).
Last year the seasonal Damson Porter was especially tasty and this year's is Red Fox.

D-lock update: We will be allowed to park our bikes in the Beer Garden, access down the lhs side alley.

Wiki tells me that the 11th anniversary is celebrated with Steel,
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_anniversary,
admittedly in the US).

Listen till the end!
(I'm certain I've heard a longer version with the extra length taken by much more
of the 'Stii-yahhll' in a booming dub style.
Maybe a Peel Session version, maybe live?)

Anniversary info moved higher up thread.

No aluminium, no titanium, no scandium, no carbon (frame), bring your Steel.

Maybe even a tearful 'Farewell' to @Ramsaye?

@middleofnowhere
Please spread the word.

It's his hat I want to say good bye to really...

Yeah, I can't see Hong Kong Immigration letting that through.

Hong Kong Immigration

Maybe I can sneak it through for dear @Ramsaye when I go next week?

I can't make the 15th, unfortunately. Have a great party!

I've got a work thing on. Soz. Have a Fosters shandy for me. :)

I've got a work thing on

All night?
Let Mel come along, she's cycling almost as much as you at the moment.

Hopefully all night. Someone else is paying.

531 only?

I'm all for elitism,
but,
there are 4130 purists.

when I go next week

Post-submission break?

Is there a ride?

Yep,
unless you live above the Red Lion Ealing.

Last years Wests 10th Birthday Party bash,
saw many attendees riding along the western half of the '50km High Sreet',
The Uxbridge Road, from Uxbridge to Ilford, via Notting Hill, Oxford Street, ....., Ilford.

More like long-planned trip for a wedding.

Yours?,
or friends?

Haha a school friend of Alice

@mashton
You enjoyed the 10th bithday party last year,
so have a personal invite.

Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to make it.
