PILOT CLUB DIARY OF EVENTS AUGUST
2016
And COMING EVENTS FOR SEPTEMBER
2016
A special August pub night was at
the Six Bells in St Albans, with a beer-tasting festival and barbecue. Other pub nights were at
the Chequers, Redbourn, with an optional meal beforehand; at the Rose and
Crown, Sandridge; and at the William IV, St Albans. There was also a Friday night
get-together for members old and new at the Speckled Hen on the Hatfield Road. Members also joined the regular
Monday night pub quiz. The first Tuesday lunch was at a pub in St Albans.
Members wanting to keep fit joined
the Zumba Gold class in Hatfield, and walkers went on a 4-5 mile walk from
Redbourn, and a Bank Holiday walk by the canal in Hertford, with drinks in a
pub afterwards. Dancers went to the dance-club at Edgware.
Days out included a short walk to
the Festival Garden at Ayletts Nursery; a visit to Bletchley Park war-time
code-breaking centre; a trip to Hatfield House, with its garden and park; and a
visit to the Flamstead Scarecrow Festival.
There was also a plant-swap and tea in a member’s garden, and a Sunday
morning brunch in another member’s garden.
Coming Up in September
In September our pub nights will
be at the White Horse in Shenley; the Prae Wood Arms in St Albans, with
optional meal beforehand; at the Garibaldi in St Albans; and at The Gate in
Bricketwood. Members will join the usual Monday night quiz in the pub on the Hatfield Road. Our club’s first Tuesday lunch

Dancers will go to a masked ball

There may be even more events added to
our September programme, as quite often late events are submitted by members
and sent round to all members by our special Pilot email.

of these events, please contact our New Members’ Co-ordinator, through the
