Welcome to March – the season is edging ever closer and now we have some good weather there is a flurry of activity in the Dinghy Park.

We now have a new line up of beers to tempt you all to the bar. For the Lager drinkers we have Fosters and Kronenbourg and for the real ale drinkers we welcome the return of the guest beers fromCrouch Vale. We are first off trying Brewers Gold – the feedback has been great and I would welcome suggestions for a follow on in a few weeks.

Look forward to seeing you all at the bar in the next few weeks.

Cheers !
