Happy New Year to all! It's 2019 already, and that means it is time for our annual "unofficial" January meeting at Brewski... (aka any excuse for a beer). This is nothing more than an informal catch up over a few beers, starting from 1pm. Let us know if you can make it and we will book tables accordingly.   Our first official meeting for the year will be back at the Library on the 14th of Feb, more details will be sent out closer to the date.   DWB

This year the BBC will hold our Christmas party combined with the Pine Rivers Underground Brewing Society.
