All Hallows’ Eve is upon us! Come celebrate the spirits by downing some spirits (and good grub) on our Halloween pub crawl. Join us for pies at Red House, we’ll be arriving for 18:30. Red House have asked that we pre order our food (see menu attached), to do so please fill out the form below:

From there we’ll do a jump to the left and a step to the right all the way to Newcastle’s latest spooktacular bar, the Vampire Rabbit! We’ll most likely stop along the way for a pint or two but if you don’t want to join for food you’re welcome to join us at Red House for a drink, or catch us up along the way.

Let’s see your best fancy dress this year! If ghouls, goblins and ghosts are too tame for you, you could always dress as your favourite committee member for something truly terrifying! I hear Cameron’s already been working on his best Kay costume this year.

Are you desperate for pool sessions to return? Whilst you wait, join us this Saturday for a night of pool, snooker and darts! We’ll be at Spot White Chinatown for 7pm on 12/10/24. A few of us will be off for food beforehand, everyone’s welcome so drop me a message if you’d like to join. I’ll post more details about going for food soon!

Ciao folks! (basically Ancient Roman right?)🏛️

Join us this Sunday (18/08/24) at Cawfield’s quarry in Northumberland. Enjoy a casual hike round a disused quarry turned lake with section’s of hadrian’s wall along the route. The hike is 5.6km and should take approximately 2 hours, though with Tom’s speedy legs who knows 🚶💨

Not fancying the hike? Join us for some grub and a quick pint afterwards at the Milecastle Inn in Haltwhistle.

If you’d like a lift let me know and we can arrange for some chauffeurs 🚕 to get everyone there. We’ll be meeting at Cawfields quarry car park at 14:00.

I’ve found this section online to help with anyone who gets lost: “On the B6318 (Military Road), approx 1.5 miles west of the Sill Visitor Centre, turn right (north) onto a minor Road, signposted Walltown. Car Park is on the right after 1/4 mile”

Aloha dudes and dudettes 🤙

Join us this Friday from 18:00 at the Surfers Tynemouth Cafe. Kay has massively bigged up the amazing burgers, and there’ll be music and entertainment from 20:00. If you can’t make it that early or don’t fancy some gnarly grub then we’ll be moving into Tynemouth (Front St Area) for a drink or two after. We’ll keep you posted with where we head to if you’re meeting us after.

Hope to see you all there.
