Post festival wash up meeting on Tuesday 19th November at the Sandford Park Alehouse from 7:30pm.

All volunteers are welcome to hear updates from the festival committee and give any feedback.

The November Ale Amble heads across the Severn to the border town of Chepstow.

We shall be getting the 10.45 train arriving at 11.26.  .  If you are coming from another area then we shall meet you in the Bell Hanger, (Wetherspoons),  9–10 St Mary Street (not far from the station).  Our train arrives at 11.26 so we shall see you shortly after that.  Norman from Cardiff/Bristol has just been to Chepstow and has kindly offered to guide us.  I am aware that the micro pub (Queen’s Head) doesn’t open until 5 pm – however on prior notice we *MAY* be able to get it to open earlier.  The train back will be 18.46 or 19.17 – I leave it to you.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE
