Bus Cruise

Sunday, March 30, 2008
Apr 19, 2008

First, a note: this Bus Cruise uses service buses, not a charter service.

You’ll need to buy a Explorer rather than the Stagecoach day ticket, as not all the buses are run by Stagecoach.

The trip will start at 11:10 on the number 54 from Chichester bus station. The plans are to visit the Ship, South Harting, the Three Horseshoes, Elsted, and the White Horse, Rogate. As there’s about a mile of walking involved, that plan may change if the weather’s foul (again). You should be back in Chichester by about 18:30.

Contact Ian Jarman for further details, including start time: 01243 788524.

You’re Barred, Darling

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

Looks like we have an Internet campaign underway: to get Alistair Darling barred from every pub in Britain.

You can download the poster for the window of your local, and there’s a Facebook group, too — 143 members at the current count.

The only Sussex pubs I’ve spotted on the list so far are all in Lewes (including the Gardener’s Arms) but I’m sure we in Western Sussex can increase the total.

(Could we bar him from all the petrol stations while we’re at it, too?)

Pub of the Year 2008

Saturday, March 8, 2008

The Seal, Selsey, is Western Sussex CAMRA’s Pub of the Year for 2008.

A large, friendly pub offering a good range of beers, often including Dark Star, the Seal is a breath of fresh air on the Selsey scene and a worthy winner. Congratulations!

Breakage (again)

Saturday, March 8, 2008

Sorry about the breakage — it seems that going to Belgium causes this site to die…
