West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

Oliver, you know it hasn't :) @mespilus said Easter. I think we are all getting stir crazy, with so much hope on the horizon, but still under house arrest. I'm certainly looking forward to then first post lockdown forum drinks

In answer to the other question. Yes, for me the Express Tavern is the preferred venue. I just hope that its not one of the many businesses that didn't make it through the winter, and doesn't actually open its doors come spring.

@Oliver Schick, I thought I saw you listed on the 'No.10 Insiders distribution list'?

Just following the mood music of a directionless PM being bullied by the CRG,
and the Pubs trade body bleating that not every pub could survive with only outdoor sales.
'Easter', as @Sifta pointed out, was my signal to a not-too-distant future.
Twas a year ago 'we', (and it was only the two of us), met for an Easts!
A lot of water has flowed through and round leaky dams since then.

@Oliver Schick,
Oliver, do you have the powers to amend the thread title?

@Sifta
Relax the Express Tavern is surviving with a revised and slimmed down take away menu.

@Oliver Schick, I thought I saw you listed on the 'No.10 Insiders distribution list'?

What, who let you on there???

Just following the mood music of a directionless PM being bullied by the CRG,

Yes, that seems to be about the size of it.

Oliver, do you have the powers to amend the thread title?

No, why would I? As nimbhus hasn't been active for a while, only Velocio or hippy can do it.

As if by magic the thread is renamed!

I’d murder everything on that menu at the moment.

Will we see you at a future Wests?

Lockdown 3 : Return to Normality.

Thursday 2nd April for Wests, day before Easter Friday, we can meet with a limit of 6.

I'd like to get to one from time to time. I'm west, but a little too far to comfortably make it regularly plus have to work around childcare.

Yes, I noticed you referenced 'Staines'.
Want to be included on the circulation list?

No need, most of it has already been murdered.

Just call it Easts and he'll be there like a shot.

Want to be included on the circulation list?

I’ll say no, because I’m going to end up being a lurker 90% of the time. I’m literally going to be one of those people who only drops in from time to time, completely last-minute when everything lines up.

Just call it Easts and he'll be there like a shot.

Heheh, it is east of here yoeastsidemassive...

Who else has been vaccinated?:

Oxford Astra Zeneca for me on the 3rd March.
No ill effects, just slight solidifying of upper left arm muscles after +30 hours.
After one week, nothing, no headaches, no fever, no weariness.
Hopefully antibody concentration in blood stream steadily mounting.

From todays Guardian:

'Groups of six people or two households will be able to meet outdoors from next Monday, (29th March). Outdoor sports can also resume then and the “stay at home” instruction will end, meaning people do not need to have a reasonable excuse to leave their homes.'

It's just as well that they've included outdoor sports or Wests would have had to wait still longer.

There have been many 'Covid grouse hunts'.

outdoor sports

Hmm?

My lad is back at nursery on a Thursday now so I'm not going to make it to these for a while.

Now that we can meet officially, Wests in The Park is back on. We are taking advantage of the good weather to meet in Acton Park 5pm on Wednesday. 3 of the 6 slots are already taken, if anyone else is interested, feel free to sign up.

We normally meet on the benches West of the Pavillion.
