Hi Tuck, I own a former pub that is now run as a members club. It's the Mistra in Evie. We always have one local ale on usually either Northern Light or Raven. Occasionally one of the others or even something of Rob Hill's. Each member can sign in two guests so pop in and ring the bell if you are passing. The bar is only open on Tuesday, Friday & Saturday evenings. Mike PS: Apologies for advertising but the Club is non-profit making. ----- Original Message ---- > From: Tuck <tuck12@comcast.net> > To: Mike Williams <mike@mistra.co.uk>; orcadia@rootsweb.com > Sent: Wednesday, 10 March, 2010 14:36:03 > Subject: Re: [ORCADIA] Swannay Brewery wins awards in National Beercompetition > > Mike, > > Thanks for the information.

Mike, I'll be there, sometime in the summer of 2011, so don't pull my pint just yet.
