Real Ale Tour of Birmingham - 4th December 2014

 

For our December Social meeting the Chairman took a thirsty bunch of SLK'ers up to Birmingham on the train (well, it avoids the drink and drive problem!). This was so they could partake of a conducted tour by CAMRA of the historic landmark pubs of Birmingham. The tour started at the Wellington with its vast range of beers, then on to the Joint Stock for some Fullers beer.

Cologne International Trip - 9th to 12th October 2014

Eleven flew to Cologne in two waves to sample German beer, eat more pork that was good for us, play some cards, “get into” a party, try out the buses and the trains go up a mountain in a cog railway and travel down the Rhine in a boat. Oh, and drink more beer. And then some more.

A large contingent went off to Dudley to sample the Canal Tunnel from the inside. Some even had a go at 'legging' ... which we discovered was very knackering!
Birdlip Run - 27th July 2014

The Annual Birdlip run toured out to the Cotswolds and back, sampling a great breakfast, a stop at the Lavender Farm, a 'swift one' stop before the usual picnic lunch atop Cleeve Hill. The afternoon took a route via Birdlip Hill and out to cream tea in Tewkesbury.
