Fw: CAMRA: May day Pub-crawl

[Rob Carroll]

 

Dear Young CAMRA Members,

 

       The next CAMRA Young Members event in the East Midlands will be
the May-Day pub-crawl in Nottingham. This Young Members event is now
in its third year and is open to members and non members from all over
the UK.

WHAT: Pub-crawl of Nottingham.

WHEN: 11am - 11pm, May-Day Bank Holiday, Monday 7th May 2007.

WHERE: The Vat & Fiddle, 12 -14 Queen's Bridge Road, Nottingham, NG2
1NB, (out of the railway station, turn left, take the right hand fork,
walk for 2 minutes and it'll be on your right) will be the starting
point of the crawl at 11am.

DETAILS: Over 20 pubs were visited during last years May-Day pub-
crawl, following the Nottingham Mild in May Trail, with each person
drinking a half pint of Mild in most pubs and a pint in some of them.
Those who didn't like Mild drank other Real Ales. We'll be visiting a
minimum of 17 pubs this year.

Each participant of the Mild Trail who visits a minimum of 8 pubs and
drinks at least a half pint of Mild in each gets a certificate, a free
pint at Nottingham Beer Festival in October, and also gets entered in
to prize-draws for special edition Mild Trail T-shirts and bottles of
Mild. In addition to these prizes, all Milds sold throughout May in
Tynemill and Castle Rock pubs will qualify for their 'one over the
eight' promotion.

We will be on a tight time-table if we are to visit 17 pubs in the
City Centre in 12 hours because a fair amount of walking is involved.
The pubs we'll be visiting are Vat & Fiddle, Globe, Southbank,
Riverway, Newshouse, Lamp, Moot Hall (if time allows, not on the Mild
trail), Bunkers Hill, Kean's Head, Lincolnshire Poacher, Nags Head (if
time allows, not on the Mild Trail), Turf Tavern (if time allows, not
on the Mild trail), Bell Inn (we'll take on some food here),
Salutation, Fellows Morton & Clayton, Canal House, Navigation, Olde
Trip to Jerusalem, Gatehouse, Falcon (if time allows, not on the Mild
trail) and finishing at the Portland Arms at about 11pm.

For those of you travelling to Nottingham by train who willl have to
leave before the end of the crawl, all of the pubs on the crawl are
less than a 30 minute walk from the railway station.

HOW TO DO IT: It is very simple to take part, just get a Mild Trail
suppliment from the Nottingham Drinker, found in most Real Ale pubs in
Nottingham, or download and print one from the Nottingahm CAMRA web-
site at http://nottinghamcamra.org/mildtrail.htm. Go along to the pubs
listed, have half or a pint of Mild and ask for a sticker. Stick the
sticker on the appropriate square.
