INSIDE THE WORLD OF MEETUP

Time to try something new, a pub crawl in a more rural area. Had to put a 35 limit on attendance knowing the actual number was closer to 25. Thankfully none of the venues were packed.  The Railway was a good start with it's spacious front room. The Nags head had a lounge that was like going back in time to the 1980s.  Pick of the day was the white lion, proper old school boozer with a pizza place out the back. Barely beer garden weather but doable. Harrington Arms was the final venue, more of an eating place with a small bar area. The numbers had dwindled by this point to less than a dozen. Got loads of good feedback the following day.

 Not been to Leicester since before Christmas so it was good to catch up. Met in the Rutland and Derby for an hour before going to the actual event. Over 30s and was told to bring ID, it was also a ticketed event. Didn't see any of the security checking anyone for ID. Was expecting a larger crowd than a 2/3 full place. It took a while for the event to build up, good music but drinks flowed for over an hour before many hit the dance floor. The main complaint was that the toilets went out of order and everyone was queuing for one disabled cubical. Things died down after around 7pm
