December 2024 – Essex Meetup

We are returning to the Victoria Inn, Colchester for the final Saturday meetup of 2024 on Saturday 7th December. Anyone who knows the pub is aware of the excellent selection of beers (and other drinks: cider) they have to offer, some would say the best in Colchester and who are we to disagree.

Agenda for the day to follow. But, expect updates on upcoming events in 2025, we’ll have Shed Festival updates at the very least. 📖 📚 🖊
