** The Last Hurrah **
Well, its been amazing. Sadly today is our last day of trading. We will be open from 3pm, until late. A few of the stalwarts have done a cracking job in denting the beer this week. Now its your turn!
** When its gone, its gone **
If you do get chance to pop in and say goodbye, then please do. Its a bit of a cliche, but we have made friends for life.
Far too many to mention.
We will miss Liz and her Wednesday lunch club, Steve Carpenter and Dotty every Friday evening, we will miss Darren, Murph and Nina bickering at the bar, with Tim & Digby playing referee. We will miss Lamby popping in for a quiet one after work and then Nathan, Charlotte, George, Emma, Tim, Molly, Liv, Nes & Jamie, TK & Greer stopping him from leaving. We will miss Beth and Jeremy popping in with Harry & Poppy and thier amazing crowd of friends. We will miss Mark, Marie and our friend Alfie. We'll miss Mags & John turning up to every single event we do. We will miss Giles and his lovely wife Sandra, who have eaten with us every single Friday lunch time since they moved here. We will miss Stephen and Anne Woodgate, who were a massive support for Sophie when she really needed it. We will miss the group of young lads who came and played darts on a cold wet Tuesday night.
All of you, each and everyone of you, we will miss you all.
Tim our quiz host and friend. Our Santa, our therapist, our everything.
Our fantastic skittles team, led by Rob and Richard. Every single pub in the world needs a Rob and Richard. They have helped immensely with just about everything from day one. Richard has done a fantastic job in helping us keep the outside area looking so amazing. We can't thank him enough.
This doesn't even scratch the surface. There are so many of you.
Please please please support the next people as much as you've supported us.
We won't call it a party, as most of you did that last weekend 😬 but there will be drinks, there will be music, there will be laughter, and lots and lots of love.
Thanks again Clipston
See you around ❤️
