Pints in the Parishes in Wootton Tomorrow Night!
A new programme of 'Pints in the Parishes' events gets underway tomorrow night, at The Chequers pub in Wootton. These sessions are intended to provide an opportunity for me to hear directly from anyone who wants to discuss the issues important to them in an informal, local environment. They are also a chance for for me to show my support for local, community pubs. I will be in The Chequers from around 7.30pm.
