Rowington Club
Solihull CAMRA Branch Meeting - all branch members welcome.
Next Branch Social
- Day trip to Oxford
Saturday 30 March 2019
The March social is also the Beer Festival Thank-You trip: a day trip by coach to the historic city of Oxford. Response to this has been good, with over 30 seats already taken. It's free for anyone who volunteered at our beer festival last October; there is a charge of £10 for anyone else, and there are still around a dozen spaces. Anyone attending the branch meeting can pay me there; can I ask everyone who's put their hand up for the trip to let me know where they will board the coach - Knowle, Solihull or Shirley.

- Beer and Curry night
Thursday 18 April 2019 18:30
Forest Hotel
Meet in the “Forest Hotel” in Dorridge anytime from 6.30pm onwards for a few pints. Leave at 8pm for a short walk down the road to the “Saleem Bagh” Indian Restaurant.
The “Forest Hotel” is only over the road from Dorridge station so is relatively easy to get too. Afterwards we can either go back to the Forest or move onto either the KDCC or “The Railway”. I will need to confirm the number of people out of courtesy to the restaurant by the 08/04/19 at the very latest, so if you are going to attend can you please let me Dave Mckowen know asap at ku.gro.armac.lluhilos@pihsrebmem .
