The Bell, Aldworth With Garston Gallopers
26th June 2012

Probably - no definitely - the best pub in Berkshire. The landlord and his team were, as always, charming. There was a good crowd to watch us, including some familiar faces.

Garston Gallopers were excellent company for the evening. During a lull in proceedings Alan presented us with a gorgeous wassail bowl that he'd made following our wassail in January.

OBJ Comprised: Ali, Ann, Chris, Chris D, Colin, Eddie, Emma, Ian, Joe, Lawre, Liz, Lynda, MaryAnn, Mike, Nikki and Vera

A strange trick of the light highlights the drum

The pub team have come out to offer us sustenace. They are lovely!

Another joining-in dance - I think it was Shepherd's Hey or something similar.
