From the Facebook site ' this group was originally started on the tenth of March 2008, and fast forward 5 years the bloody thing is still going from strength to ruddy strength. So much so a few of the group regulars have organised a get together at the Old Vic pub on Victoria Road this Saturday (16th March) 17:30 - 19:30.'
I was delighted to be asked to brew a commemorative ale for the occasion, and after on online poll the winning name was 'The Quaker'. So why not get along and remember how Darlington used to look (before they started messing with the Victorian architecture) and drink some ale in a great venue.
