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 
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
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…
STOP PRESS!
The venue for The Bug Slurp will be Lynne Misiewicz’s house at 88 Prospect Rd, Tunbridge Wells. Which is next-door-but-one to The Royal Oak (handy for a pre-Slurp Dark Star?). Lynne has very kindly thrown open her door to Twuddle ~ and has extended a very warm welcome to one and all. If you’re thinking of coming along, please leave a comment below.
We’re asking everyone who attends to either bring some homemade soup or artisan bread (fancier the better!) ~ or both!!! And don’t forget, this is BYO event in terms of drink, so you’ll also need to bring your favourite tipple ~ be that wine, beer or orange juice.
Last but not least, we’re asking everyone to bring a mug along so they can more easily sample the various soups on offer. The Big Slurp starts at 7.30pm… see you there!

Here’s a date for your diaries, the evening of Tuesday 21 September, when we’ll be holding a Twuddle ‘Big Slurp’ to help celebrate the end of Summer and a few weeks of what we hope will be glorious Autumnal sunshine and fine weather.
‘The Big Slurp’ is going to be an evening of soup-tasting and artisan bread nibbling ~ plus fine wine and ale quaffing! We’ve already got a venue in Tunbridge Wells (courtesy of a fellow Twuddler) and a few willing helpers to make a variety of soups and breads ~ but more volunteers are needed. So if you’re a dab hand at making soup or bread please leave a comment below and get involved!
The event with be ‘bring your own’ in terms of wine and beer, but we think we should try to push the boat out and use the ‘Big Slurp’ to sample different things, so unusual varieties are more than welcome. Some of the marvellous autumn and winter ales immediately spring to mind!
Please leave your comments below ~ we really do appreciate your help and feedback on all Twuddle and Twuttle matters. We’d also like to get an idea of how many people will be attending, so a yes or no in that respect would be very useful.
