Survive.
Survived.
My grandchildren have more energy than I do.
Have photos of them walking through a hot air balloon.
France is a fascinating country.
Thinking of returning in mid Sept. for a few months holiday.
Stan, how about a meeting in second week of Sept.
Prefer a different Pub.
How about the MAC, which has re-opened.
Will be in touch.

Fred,
Would be nice to see what sort of a job they have done with the place but notice that they are no longer serving real ale but only draught beer at silly prices!
See what the others say, here is the link
http://www.macarts.co.uk/page/3560/Food+Drink then click on quenchers.

Lunchtime Sept.3rd is fine by me, but will have to take it easy as it's the Codsall Beer Festival starting at 5pm that evening!
That real ale boast by the mac needs challenging by the advertising standards people in my view -):

According to the most recent post (3 months ago) on facebook regarding real ale at mac:

Just bought by mistake a bottle of St Helier pear cider (Blackberry flavoured and coloured) and drank half of it.
No lying down it case it gets me.
If it useful can probably pick Stan and Surv. at the central station for the MAC.

Fred.... thanks for the offer .... not sure what state New Street Station is in at present .... I should be able to make whatever time that Stan can make..... will e-mail you seperately.
Review of the other outlet at mac:

.... "Ive also twice found the new main alcohol bar closed at the other end of the building when I rather expected it to be open"....Plan B if bar is closed? (pub on diagonally opposite corner of Pershore Road junction there has closed down now .... although I think it's still open to offers if you fancy running a bar) .... and the other nearest bar, the BBC Club, opposite the Nature Centre has finally been demolished.

Thanks for the lift Fred,

In an effort to reassure anyone who maybe considering coming to our little gathering and at great expense, I am pleased to be able to show you some edited highlights of one of our recent events.

.... looks like Plan B is required....
stoped by at the mac cafe this lunchtime for a good nibble .... bar was closed and they said it only opens at 18:00 during Monday-Friday
So, is Plan B a change of venue or a change of date?
Stan

Change of venue for me as I'm out the following Friday morning, as I had intended to stay "relatively dry" as they say because I have the Beer Fest. in the evening I'm not to fussed about the bar not being open (on this occasion only may I say -):

As I am driving, I am happy without alcohol and I think the MAC is quiet.
But not fussed about elsewhere.
If you wish me to pick up either, or both of you, can you work out where and when.
Happy to oblige.
Regards.
