Yorkshire Area Is Back - with a New Fixed Venue for Meetings

Ye Jolly Farmers Inn at Dalton - our new venue

After a sad summer with no Area Reps and no activities for MASC within Yorkshire, Sarah & Tim have agreed to take back on the role of caretaker Area Reps for the next 6 months, albeit on a more restricted basis than previously. We are no longer able to dedicate the substantial amount of time required each month to organise rotating venues around the vast expanse of Yorkshire's far flung territory without any assistance. So we will now have meetings in the same venue for the next 6 months, and then we will review the situation.

Yorkshire Area's monthly meeting until at least April 2011 will now take place on the second Saturday of each month at Ye Jolly Farmers Inn, Dalton near Thirsk, YO7 3HY from 12:30pm.

We appreciate that this venue is not the most geographically central, but the reason we have chosen this as a fixed venue is because there have been no volunteers to organise meetings elsewhere, and the landlord at Ye Jolly Farmer's is exceptionally friendly to MASC and will not take offence and bar us if low numbers turn out. This is one of the major stress factors in organising meetings. It is also an exceptionally good CAMRA pub that does great home-made Yorkshire cooking at very affordable prices, with a decent car park.

We hope that you will support the Area by trying to come along at some point over the next six months - you don't have to be in a spridget, particularly over the winter months - but you can share fellowship and expertise with fellow spridgeteers next to a roaring fire over a steaming pie, and cheeky half of real ale.

We also hope to be in a position to organise some road runs for the Spring.

Hope to see you all soon,

Tim & Sarah
