A Trouting Proposal
RoT has no real rules or organisation as such, and long may that continue; Ian Sorensen once described the original FOKT as people come along, sit and chat, then go away again - and that seems to me to be exactly the level of organisation we want.
Having said that, we did chat last night about having the odd Trout outing - or, indeed, “Trouting” - and it was widely felt that a damn good opportunity for a Trouting would be the Paisley Beer Festival.
The Paisley Beer Festival takes place in the Town Hall, and runs from April 19th (Wednesday) to 22nd (Saturday).
Open: Wed 5-11pm, Thu 12-11pm, Fri & Sat Noon-Midnight. Admission £5, CAMRA/EBCU £3, incl souvenir glass, return glass for free re-entry to any session. c100 beers + foreign + ciders.
The best night to go is often Thursday as it is a little quieter; this is the third Thursday of the month, the week after Trout (in fact, the week after Eastercon). How would people feel about a Trout excursion to the PBF on Thursday 20th? If anyone is uncertain about travel to the event, I am sure arrangements could be made to meet at Central and head out to the wilds of Paisley.
Of course, heading out there on Thursday does not in any way prevent us from heading out there on Friday, or even Saturday...
