PILOT DIARY OF EVENTS NOVEMBER 2015

Our regular Thursday pub-nights were at pubs in
London Colney, central St
Albans, and north St Albans and, for an interesting change, at the Hemel Hempstead ski centre, watching the skiers (with one member taking part) At three of these pub-nights there was also an
option of a meal beforehand. The first Tuesday lunch was at the usual pub in north St Albans, and the regular Monday night quiz was at
the usual pub on the Hatfield road, St Albans. There
was also a Wednesday night get-together at the same pub. There was also a Saturday
night Chinese meal in St
Albans.

Dancers went to Edgware. Theatre events were “Singin’ in the Rain” at Watford, and “Hello Dolly” at Radlett. Film events were “The Intern” in Watford, “Spectre” in Welwyn Garden City, and “Lady in the Van” in Welwyn
Garden City, followed by a meal at Pizza Express.

Highlights were seeing the fireworks display in St Albans, followed by soup and hot-dogs, and joining a
day-out to Ascot Races. There was also a visit to St Albans Abbey for a talk,
and to the University of Herts for a lecture. There was a Beetle-Drive in St Albans, and a games evening at a member’s home. There
were London visits to the Magic Circle and to the Stitching and Hobby-crafts Show.

Coming up we have our Christmas lunch and evening party,
a play and supper in Park Street, and a concert in St Albans Abbey on New Year’s Day. In January we have a Burns Night quiz and
party at a hall in Tyttenhanger, and “Brassed Off” at the Barn theatre in
Welwyn Garden City. In February, members will be going to a classical music
concert at the University of Hertfordshire.
