Not The Dinner Day 2016
Peal(s), beer and a curry: what more could a ringer want?!
The format of NTDD remains a winning formula and one of my favourite events on the calendar. This year did not disappoint!
After a very successful day of peal ringing (all attempts were scored), for the evening we strayed from Brick Lane in favour of a venue tucked away in the heart of the city. Trialled late one evening after an officers’ meeting by our Senior Steward and Assistant Secretary, Bangalore Express City proved to be a big step-up in overall quality in comparison to recent offerings from Brick Lane; almost worth missing out on the Pride of Spitalfields for! The food was excellent and the staff more than willing to provide extra where necessary.
My thanks go to Ben Constant for arranging the peal venues, and to Penny Sharpe for arranging such a good deal for the evening, as always. This was a quality day out and a great way to start the year.
