Were all going out round Worksop on the 11th September. It's all in aid of Chris finnishing his masters. Lowey's planning the route so should be interesting.
Who's going out then? There's me, Lowey, Chris, Lindsay, Mark going so far. Guessing Frog, Will and Jim and that lot will be coming too...
Where are we starting then Lowey? Top House?
Can we please miss out Mavricks though, went in last night and it's pants.

There shall be no missed pubs! Mavriks will be included on the tour, I do not want any arguments about the route this will be the greatest pub crawl we ever go on.
As for the attendance, there will be at least 25 of us, a lot of Chris' mates from school are coming, and I keep inviting random people who dont even know me.
The Top House will be the start of this depraved madness yes! We are devising a rescue kit for the casualties that will be incurred on the way, basically we're trying to hit about 25 pubs so fatalities will definately occur. I need a laminating machine, and several emergency telephone numbers.
And for those concerned about a days drinking, I am planning to get us food as well, at your own expense of course! Ship serves excellent bacon and egg cobs and I'm getting pally with the manager so could sort that out!
Stretching this message out, I shall contact you again when we decide on the actual route, there will be discussion talks this Sunday.
Many thanks
Lowey

Lowey's Plan:

Worksop is renowned for its numerous public houses, our challenge will be to complete a course devised in a fit of madness at Bondhay Golf Club, where wonders will never cease. The course will be a gruelling alcoholic assault of mischief and debauchery and those that manage to complete the task will be ascended to legendary status.
The challenge itself consists of nineteen individual venues each with their own features and intriguing nuances.
We begin the challenge at the top of the hill as an ancient Worksopian doctrine states ‘Thou shalt not stride ascending whilst intoxicated.’ We begin therefore at The Top House. Recently refurbished with new carpets, for obvious reasons, new furniture, and freshly cleaned beer lines, which makes a change. The Top House has long since been the natural starting venue of all nights out as many of those participating will be aware of.
Ambling forwards we take the short trip down to The Old Blue Bell, in which most will have never been. It is with great intrigue of the challenge setters as to the coping skills of the barstaff when they suddenly get an influx of people queuing at the bar. No Worksopian can recall seeing more than three people in the venue at any one time.
As we progress down towards the centre of the town we stumble into The Old Ship, the favourite haunt of the infamous Duke of Newcastle who’s hideously disfigured face forced him into recluse and as such he had tunnels built from his home to the pub in order that he would not been seen in public. Must have been a bugger stumbling down there in the dark on your way home, swaying left and right setting yourself on fire with the torches on either side.
Original plans were made to hit three other pubs however recent findings have discovered that:
Norfolk Arms is allegedly a gay bar and hence on a Sop run this venue had to be omitted to align with Generally Accepted Worksop Opinion (GAWO) Westgate Social Club requires membership Greendale Oak Too small to fit everyone in, would need to take it in turns to enter the venue
From The Old Ship we shall saunter down to Fame, formerly Poco Loco, hopefully they will have Budweiser on tap by the time we get there. This bar includes Pole dancers in school uniforms, however unless you are CRB checked do not touch or in some cases even look.
Moving speedily on from Poco Loco we stagger on towards the Lion Hotel where we need to at least try and attempt to act as if we’re sober as the establishment may refuse entry or worse, to serve us.
Marching on regardless we aim towards the French Horn, home of GAWO try not to antagonise the regulars as you may never leave.
Next, Reunion home of all Worksop trash, be very careful what you touch for fear of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. You will notice a common trait of Worksop pubs as it appears as though your shoes have been exchanged with gravity boots, note that most Worksopian’s have extraordinarily well toned calf muscles a result of the unnaturally sticky floors that are found in most pubs.
