Is there a plan for this Wednesday?
I propose that the Great Totham Compasses is removed from our Wednesday night venue list (if such a thing actually exists) - the place is never open when I've tried to stop there, most recent attempt was at 9:15pm last Friday.
It's one of 30 pubs on the MAD real ale trail, with free beer at the Maldon beer festival being the reward for visiting 20 or more of them.
