Marf’s really on form today

Have a drink on SeanT: Dirty Dicks, November 20th 6.30 pm

Thanks once again to Fat Steve for making the arrangements. The next PB gathering will be at the Dirty Dicks pub just across the road from Liverpool Street Station in London from 1830 on Wednesday November 20th. These have become very much a tradition and a good time is generally had by all.

SeanT has generously offered to make a contribution to the evening – so get there early to get a free drink.
