July  – This month’s meet up will actually take place on Saturday 3rd August.  We will be visiting Connoisseur Brewery in St Helens and will be catching the 11:45 train from Lime Street.  Those who would like breakfast beforehand please meet in the North Western Wetherspoons from 10:45. The Brewery has an open day on the first Saturday of each month and has a good selection of dark and light real ales and also the famous Burchall’s pork pies are available.  If time allows we will also visit the Cricketers Pub.

August  – We will be meeting on Friday 30th August from 12:00 in The Captain Alexander opposite James Street Station.  This is the latest new Wetherspoons to open in Liverpool.  Note the earlier meeting time, this is so we can hopefully get enough tables together for us all!  From here we will visit a few other real ale pubs in the area.
