The Rob Roy Hotel

We gathered at the Rob Roy for our monthly gathering to sample some refreshing black gold in liquid form.

At the Rob Roy we were looked after by the bar staff Lionel, Sylvia and Angela. Unfortunately, from the way the Guinness was poured it was clear to all that they had not had any training in how to pour a decent pint. However former president Tony Cannon took it upon himself to try and educate the young bar staff in how to pour the perfect Guinness, and from then on there was some definite improvement.

HISTORY

This year we celebrate our 32nd anniversary since inception.

We had our special 30th celebratory gathering to mark the occasion at The General Havelock Hotel on Tuesday 9th March 2021

It was a GREAT evening, thanks to Kaz and ‘the committee’ and of course ‘The 30th Anniversary Sub-Committee’ who put in a great deal of time and effort into ensuring that it was be a most enjoyable event. BUT in particular “Guinness Style Thanks” to Michael and Corinna and The Staff’ who made sure we felt welcome, well fed and well “Guinnessed” during the evening.

And we’ve had many great events since then

Here’s looking forward to the next Big Event,….. What When Where ??

Perhaps you have an idea you’d like to put forward to your committee !!
