Twuttle Wine Tasting
It has been necessary to postpone this event – Sorry!!
The problem was that we didn’t get quite enough interest to make it a viable event for all parties.
Hopefully we can resurrect this in the new year.
On the 26th of October we will be holding a wine-tasting event at our new venue, Pigwidgeon & Pye in Tunbridge Wells. Details:
- Date: 26 October 2011
- Venue: Pigwidgeon & Pye
- Time: 7.00 – 9.00 pm
- Cost: £5 per head
Our partners in this event are WineSimplicity.com, a new online wine retailer, whose offices are based in Tunbridge Wells and who are providing free wine tastings (there will be a number of wines to try).
The unique proposition of WineSimplicity.com is that they will only sell wines that have been endorsed by their Consumer Wine Tasting Panels. The wines you will be trying have already passed the approval stage and therefore will be featured on their website – www.winesimplicity.com (which is launching on 1st November!). They are promising customers a ’100% double taste guarantee or your money back’. If you like any of the wines on the night you will be able to place orders with the team from WineSimplicity.com. Incidentally, none of their wines are available in supermarkets!
The food buffet will consist of a variety of eclectic dishes and will be supplied by our hosts, Pigwidgeon & Pye.
There is a small charge to cover the the cost of food preparation & venue staffing and as tickets are limited we need to know who is interested and, if possible, payment of the £5 as soon as possible. Please register below.
So, if you haven’t been to twuttle for a while, this is a perfect opportunity to come and see some old friends and check out the new venue.
This coming Tuesday (21st June) at 5.16pm (if Wikipedia is to be believed) it is the Summer Solstice – the moment in the year when the sun is at it’s highest point in the sky. To celebrate, we are having an impromptu Twuddle picnic!
Bring your own food and drink!
We’ll be there from 5pm (meet near the café), in time to catch the Solstice. Hopefully we’ll get to see the sun (mostly conspicuously absent this week). Feel free to bring games ~ frisbies, footballs ~ whatever you wish! Kids welcome…
At about 9pm, we’ll head to the pub (Royal Oak) for some liquid refreshment.
Obviously, all this is weather dependant (Royal Oak aside). Please use the twitter hashtag #twsolstice for updates or to post suggestions.
Who’s gonna be there?
PS. Also… if you play an instrument, feel free to bring that along too. What better way to herald the Summer (it is the Summer isn’t it?) with some music. Even ukelele owners are welcome! But banjos by special appointment only 
It has been suggested that Twuddle be moved to a Thursday night from it’s current Tuesday night slot at Sankeys.
This post is aimed at gathering as many views as possible on the matter. Are you in favour or against such a move?
You can also use this post to let us know what you think about Twuddle ~ your preferred evening, frequency, venue, etc.
Please remember, if you don’t leave a comment, then your opinion will go unnoticed. It is really important that everyone has their say, even if it is just a simple yes or no to the proposal.
Thank you!
The highlight of the summer season are the various events and meet-ups we arrange through twuddle in addition to the regular Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s.
What would you like to see happen over the next few months, here are some suggestions. Which ones would you like to attend, what else would you like to see happen and, perhaps more importantly, which ones can you help with. These events only happen because someone makes it so!! Most events just need a champion, get a date and venue fixed, garner interest, make it happen! This list is far from exhaustive so if you have an idea, float it here and see who bites.
Arts & Crafts
The 4th Photowalk is almost certain to happen over the summer but details have yet to be sorted.
Food and Drink
BBQ – Alastair (taywell_online) has offered to host this but it needs to be organised.
Picnic – a casual (sunday afternoon?) meetup in Dunorlan Park (?) or perhaps on Royal Wedding day!
The Big Heat – A curry night run along the lines of The Big Slurp.
Twuddle Pub Crawl
Sport
Petanque was very successful last year and we would like to do this again.
Inter-group competition (twuddle, twuttle, cruttle, etc).
And of course there are loads of opportunities to just get together in an informal way! If you’re going to something like the Mela 2011 or a Pantiles Jazz evening then shout out and you might be able to create an impromptu twuddle.
So what would you like to do, how can you help? Let us know…
