After the recent Branch Meeting we agreed to bring back the 5 @ 5 idea to get us out and about to pubs that we might not always to go. This was very popular recurring event in the past, the first area we thought we would visit is Caister. We thought we would try and out do Norwich and get in 6 pubs on our first outing.

First stop will be the Centurion at 5.00. If you are traveling from Gorleston you can get the No 8 Bus from the High St at 16.03 reach Market Gates at 16.18 and departing at 16.25. It should arrive close to the Centurion before 17.00. The bus Runs about every 15 minutes so you can play catch up with the early Birds.

We will leave the Centurion around 18.10 going again by Bus to Branfords., leaving approxately about 19.10. Next watering hole will be a short walk to the Kings Arms, Leaving around 20.00 to go to the Never Turn Back and the Ship. Timing at this point will be crucial to leave the Ship by 22.00 to get to the Gate.

The last bus home will be at 22.50 outside the Post Office, so we need to leave the Gate by 22.45. The bus gets back to Market Gates at 23.05 and the Feathers in Gorleston at 23.20. Or there is a No 1 Bus at 23.19 getting back to Market Gates at 23.30 if anyone needs to finish just one more.

These are rough times, everyone is welcome to meet up at any point in the evening but for the more devoted Members of the Branch, this could be a very long and interested evening.

Hope to see you there.

Moving on from August 6 @ 5, we thought we would have another go but just starting a little later.

Starting at the Avenue at 18.05, you can catch the No 8 bus from Gorleston High St at 17.33 reaching Market Gates at 17.48 The bus then leaves Market gates at 17.55 dropping off at 18.05 at the Avenue. We will be leaving the Avenue for the 18.55 No 8 bus to the Golfers at 18.57 which drops right outside the pub.

We then leave the Golfers for the 20.02 No 8 bus to the Kings Arms in Northgate St at 20.07. We then head out on foot to Tombstone Saloon Bar around 8.45, moving from Tombstone around 9.45 to the Feathers which closes at 11.00. The last port of call will be the Troll Cart for anyone who has the stamina.

The last bus back to Gorleston is at 23.15 arriving in the High St at 23.25.

These are rough times, everyone is welcome to meet up at any point in the evening but for the more devoted Members of the Branch, this could be a very long and interested evening.
