Bill,
I’ve not been to a pub for Sunday lunch for a good while, so may not be of much help to you – but I have eaten at Beckwithshaw, Smiths Arms, during the week, and enjoyed that. Try asking Bill H. DavidI understand that the Harrogate Advertiser has completed its ‘best pub’ competition, and ‘The Empress’, near the roundabout of the same name on Christchurch Stray, won! It’s very near to my house, and I have never been into it!
Any opinions from members?
Sounds like the Coach and Horses is winning by a short head so far!
How about a proponent of the C & H (David P?) putting forward a date and time, perhaps becoming a regular date such as the first Tuesday of the month, say, when our research could take place – starting at the Coach and Horses?
Then, lets see who turns up, and build from there! There’s a lot of research to be done…..I’m afraid that I missed the walk, as I was on holiday.
I have walked with our club in the ripley area, and enjoyed it. I’ve also been to the Boars Head to eat, and I really liked the food and the ambiance. maybe a touch more expensive than the average pub, but worth it.
I am biased, as I’m leading the November walk and plan for us to walk from the White Hart in Pool in Wharfedale – a similar style of pubI felt it was a really exciting day. Beautiful weather, smooth coach ride. fascinating place, which I’d never been to, and didn’t quite know what to expect.
Lots of memories came flooding back of parents and grandparents houses, sounds and smells and the sight of people in costume going about their lives as if nothing had changed since the 1920s.I hope it wasn’t too strenuous for members. maybe the relatively small turnout was because it was quite far away, or too close in time to the last event, the Hollins Halll lunch?
I’d like to see lots of different events, maybe tailored to different interests. Some would have lots of people joining in – others just a few.
What do you think?
David
