Well its been a few weeks since the last one:hihi:

Anyone interested, especially newbies, please post on this thread and I'll try to get it organised. You don't actually have to be an active Walking Group member to attend, we've had non-walking affiliates turn up in the past just for the beer!!!

As the last one was in the city centre maybe this one could be held in Hillsborough, The Hillsborough Hotel springs to mind.

Good beer, no juke-box, separate smoking/non-smoking parts and dog friendly (for you know who)

We may even discuss walking at the meet for a change:thumbsup:

Count me in, if it`s a night when I can get. Wanna break away from being described as a newbie, so the sooner the better!

Sounds good to me. The more dates in my diary the better.( That makes me sound like i`m tarting it over the internet doesn`t it, well, you know what i mean ).

I can't go on Thursday. Have a nice time. :mad:

By the way, why out in Hillsborough? I think a city centre pub like the Red Lion or Red Deer is fairer all round.

Good plan, Taxman!

I quite like the idea of meeting up in different places each time, maybe S. Sheffield next time.

By the way, I'm surprised you didn't make it clear that this will be an unofficial meet which may discuss unofficial walks over an unofficial pint, unofficially.

Did the Red Lion last time so thought we'd have a change of scenery, it might encourage some of our North Sheffield people to come down as well.

And of course being "team leader" I choose the pubs with good beer.:hihi:

If anyone has ideas for future venues though I'm happy to take them on board

Hillsborough Hotel would make a change from town centre, close to buses and trams too (not that I do them, just thinking about ppl that do!)

The only walking will be to the bar and back and I don't think we'll need compass skills for that

Yes you did. Then for the rest of the night you discussed football, women and all mannor of stuff with your male counterparts. Not like us ladies who discussed Jane Ayre and the deep meaning of life.
