A cosy pub for winter. Nearest tube is South Kensington - walk up Brompton Road to Cottage Place on the left. Walk up the path beside the church, then right into Ennismore Gardens. Meet from 7:30.

Turn right out of Turnham Green tube, the pub is on the right on the corner about 1 minute's. There is the possibility of a Thai meal afterwards in the Thai cafe/restaurant opposite the tube station if people do not eat in pub. Meet from 7:30.

If you are a prospective member then this is your chance to meet the Club. You will probably recognise us by our fleeces and a copy of this news letter lying around. See Pub Nights for upcoming venues.

The new Westway climbing wall is now open. This is by far the biggest and best climbing wall in London. The MMC meet there most Tuesday evenings and Sunday mornings. Contact Andy Etheridge for more details.
