| August 2001 - Dinner
at The Fleece, Addingham - West Yorkshire
Yet another excellent
evening of entertainement. Kindly organised by Flick, we indulged ourselves
with fine food, wine and, of course, the Black Sheep ales - see below about
our trip to the Black Sheep Brewery in March.
Addingham is a
village just a few miles up the Wharfe valley from Ilkley. The Fleece
has a growing reputation for it's cuisine, as well as the conditioned ales
from it's cellar.
No photographs
on this occasion, but watch out for the next event.
March 2001 -
Black Sheep Brewery - Masham
This was an evening
to remember - and a time to forget the tumbling stock market.
Ann organised the trip
by minibus from Ilkley to the North Yorkshire market town of Masham, centre
of excellence for traditional brewing of beer.
Paul Theakston's company,
founded on the traditions of his family for the last three generations, has
developed a thriving business supplying draught ales to Yorkshire and selected
destinations further afield - try the Head of Steam pub at Euston Station.
Bottled beers are now
available at all the best supermarkets in the UK.
After an informative
and humourous guided tour around the brewery we dined in the Visitor Centre
Bistro amonst the sheep.
We arrived back in
Ilkley car park after midnight in good spirits. This trip has to be
repeated.
