Though like nothing on the scale of Heritage Action's wonderful World Megameets in Avebury (this year to be held on Saturday, 21 August - see http://themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=57344 ) there'll be a bit of a mini Megameet on Sunday, 29 August at the Viper Pub, Mill Green, Essex (more here - http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/37/3750/Viper/Mill_Green ).

The Viper is one of Essex's many little gems pub-wise. It's set all alone in woodland but serves real ale, excellent food and a little beer festival over the August Bank holiday (Jake the Snake is the pub's resident tipple but there are other goodies on tap during the festival). Ingatestone is only about fifteen minutes' drive from The Viper so something to see stone-wise on the way there or on the way back.

For those who can't make it to the Avebury Megameet maybe we'll catch up with you at The Viper instead (or as well : -)

Totally short notice, but Moss and I will be out at the Viper again tomorrow for their Easter Beer Fes. If anyone’s in the area and feels like joining us that’d be great (from about noon onwards). Ingatestone is close by so something stony to see).

Ach! Now, if you'd said Monday, we might have been in the area as we have to be in Tiptree later that day.

Excellent little meet (though the Viper had sold out of half its real ales and all of its ciders and perries by then :-(

Some good stony stuff discussed. Next beer fest there is over the August Bank Holiday, so watch this space for the next Essex minimeet update :-)
