03rd: Fingerpost pub night
This
was the first pub night at ‘The Fingerpost’ on Hempshaw Lane in
Offerton and I was rather nervous as to the numbers that might turn out.
As it was, I need not have worried, as a total of 19 of
us came along. People came from far and wide, including from Hyde
(Philomena and Ian), Poynton (Sue & Pete) and even Essex (Lisa,
Philomena’s daughter). Others of us came from closer to; I walked to the
pub, as usual, and this took me all of two minutes.
We were able to use a separate room off the bar and we filled this up over the course
of
the evening. Some of us partook of the excellent food cooked by Rob the
landlord; the steaks (10”, £ 5.95) were particularly well received. The
last of us wended our way home sometime about mid-night.
I
think that it’s fair to say that a good evening was had by all; and
thanks to everyone who came along to make the evening such a success.
