Pub lunch & discussion 

Our regular Second Saturday discussion at the historic Adam & Eve Tavern, Lindum Hill, LN2 1NT. Our topic " Is there anything that other people seem to enjoy that you just don't 'get' e.g. music?". All very welcome, we don't expect you to talk on the subject unless you wish to and you can bring a guest, but this venue is really not suitable for children. Decent food and good ales, and the pub has its own car park and welcoming team. I need to book our table in the alcove, so please let me know by Friday 10th if you hope to join us. Contact Jacquie Harrison, on [Email] or [Phone Number].
