I seem to recall that SE Essex was to be the venue for our next soirée and it might have been my call to do the organising.
Fatters, you are the key man here: when is your next Friday off?
We could do the famed Paglesham Run. This Classic traditionally involves pints in
- The Golden Lion, Rochford
- The Cherry Tree, Stambridge
- The Royal Oak, Stambridge
- The Shepherd & Dog, Ballards Gore
- The Punch Bowl, Paglesham Church End
- The Plough & Sail, Paglesham East End
followed by a madcap dash back to Saarfend for a curry.
For medical reasons, I reserve the right to drink halves / ginger beer. The curry is clearly an optional extra.
The last train allowing a return to Chelmsford / Witham would be at 23.12 from Rochford. I'd say a 7.30 start at the Golden Lion would be necessary to allow for half an hour per pub and plenty of time back for the train. The curry would be for another night. I'm not as young as I used to be.
I'll tentatively suggest Friday 16th Jan for this nonsense.
