pubcrawl2012 2nd Tunbridge Wells Real Ale Pub Crawl 4th March 2012

Hello my fellow twuddlers.

After an amazingly successful (approximately 20-30 people) inaugural #twuddle Tunbridge Wells Real Ale Pub Crawl in November 2010, and promising to run them once a quarter, @MrCRTW and myself @mannyvw have finally got around to organising the 2nd Tunbridge Wells Real Ale Pub Crawl nearly 18 months later icon smile 2nd Tunbridge Wells Real Ale Pub Crawl 4th March 2012

Starting after lunch around 2pm on Sunday 4th March 2012 at the Ragged Trousers on the Pantiles. We will then visit around 8 Tunbridge Wells pubs, consuming a half of a real ale in each pub, in half an hour and then moving onto the next pub, giving ourselves walking time between pubs. A kitty will organised for those who will be having the recommended ale in each pub, non-real ale drinkers and people who will only be joining us for part of the pub crawl please organise your own drinks.

Myself and @MrCRTW will again be choosing 8 Tunbridge Wells pubs, although the exact list and route is still being worked out, the great news is, in the time since the last pub crawl, 2 excellent new real ale pubs have opened and we will be adding them to the list, we will also be switching some of the pubs around, so we both look forward to seeing you on the pubcrawl, more details nearer the time.

Thanks

Update 25th January

The #twpubcrawl will start as mentioned at the The Ragged Trousers at 2pm on Sunday 4th where we will collect £12 from each person who wishes to join in on the recommended beer in each of the pubs. Please buy your own drink in the Ragged as am expecting people to arrive at different times and it will be difficult to keep track who has had theirs. Once we know numbers we will leave the Ragged Trousers around 2.30pm and then visit the following pubs, spending approximatly half an hour in each pub:-

The Compasses
The Royal Oak
The Wells Kitchen
Sankeys
Beau Nash

After the Beau Nash we will make our way to the The Bedford for a beer bat, which comprises of 3 1/3 pints of beer served on….well a bat (so 1 pint in total), Mark from The Bedford has also kindly agreed to lay on some pub snacks comprising of their excellent scotch eggs, Port Pies & Sausage rolls. If there is any cash left in the kitty at this point can use towards further beers

There is now a Facebook event for the pub crawl Please click on attending if you would like to join us, and use hashtag #twpubcrawl on twitter. Thanks

bigskate1 The Big Skate!

For anyone who hasn’t yet been down to the Christmas ice rink in Calverley Grounds, Tuesday 20th, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm could well be the ideal opportunity. Bring your friends and family and join the assorted Twuttlers & Twuddlers skating around the rink in a suitably festive fashion (reindeer antlers and Xmas hats are entirely optional). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a dab hand at the triple salchow, or have never strapped on a pair of skates in your life… the event is open to all and suitable for skaters of all abilities.

For more information on the rink, click here to visit their website.

We’re told that hot drinks and food are available down at the rink ~ although we suspect that skating whilst slurping a latte and nibbling a mince pie is probably frowned upon. Actually, there are t&cs on their website, so please take heed of the dos and don’ts.

There is a spectator area for non-skaters to watch proceedings and shout helpful advice from the sidelines.

Next Tuesday evening is also the date for the last Bedford quiz before Christmas. This starts at 8pm and a Twuddle team usually enters, so once the skating is over, it would seem rude not to nip over the road to this most-excellent pub to give them some support. But no help in answering the questions please ~ you wouldn’t want them disqualified would you?

We hope to see you on the 20th! ~ Any questions & queries, please leave a comment below.

PS. There is a discount scheme for parties of 10 or more, so if you are thinking of coming along, please let us know. Get enough people together and we could save some money on the ticket price.
