Have Pride In You
The 5th Reading Pride festival is on 30th August at Kings Meadow, Reading. There's a lot to do to make this year's celebrations bigger and better than ever.

Adrian: The Swan Song

Hi everyone!!!!
After nine glorious fantastic years of being at the Wynfordarms.com... I’m leaving!!!
I’ve been offered the general manager position at a fantastic top quality venue - Queer Bar in Manchester’s Canal St. Its a bit sudden and manic, but I’m off next Wednesday (13th) so my last day here at the Wynford will be Tuesday 12th August!
So, if you can make it on Tuesday, that would be great! Would like to say goodbye to all of you that have been to and supported the venue over the years, and I’m sure it’ll be a bit emotional! The Wynford will continue to be the best in Reading even when I’ve gone! We have a great team that will continue to look after you every day of the year! Business will continue as normal!..... top cabaret, top dj’s, top quiz masters, top bingo girls, quality bar staff, proper smoking areas and gardens!!!! Of course, if you’re in Manchester then please feel free to pop in and say hi. I will be truly sad to be leaving all of you and I’m sure I’ll pop back occasionally to say hi. And I would like to say a special thanks to team Wynford: Jason, Brendy, Treacle, Cliff, Penny and Andy who have been here for donkey’s years and have helped me and have made the Wynford so great!! And of course the bar crews from over the years: ryan, kieron, sam, ben, tom, stephen, kate, mark, joe, hazel, ian, josh, simon, micheal, Debbie, matt, chris, Darren, paul, harry, Vicky, Helena, dan, Daniel, al, Anthony, Lewis, scott, peter, Charlie, scott, james and beyond.......

Treacle: Have You Heard About Adrian?
|

I think most of you know this by now, but for those of you who don't, you had better sit down... Adrian is leaving the Wynford! Yes, you did read that right. He's off to pastures new, to pursue a great opportunity for him in Manchester. It's their gain, and our loss. And it's all happening a bit quick, if you ask me! Ade's last night at the Wynford is next Tuesday, 12th August! So we thought we should have a bit of a "do" for him. So come and join us then to say (a tearful) goodbye to the Best Bar Manager in Berkshire. Then all that's left to do is find out when he's catching the train to Manhester so we can line up at the station to throw rotten tomatoes and cabbages at him, cos he's a low down, dirty, rat bag of a @#£& for leaving us! That said, Ade, we're going to miss you very much and wish you all the best for your new job! :-)

Treacle's Thought of the Week...
|
|
Now there's something I find attractive about the motorcycle leathers look. But there is also something which worries me about it. I drive a car. I'm too cowardly to ride a motorbike. In my car I have air con for hot summer days, of which we get 4 per year. I wouldn't have that with a bike. Surely being covered head to toe in leather is not the best idea. It must get a bit toasty under there! Also I notice that my car bumper gets covered in dead bugs as I drive along. So if that happens to my car then surely a biker must get covered all over his body! Mmm, nice! So I am left wondering what exactly is it I find so attractive about the thought of a leather clad sweaty man covered in dead flies?
