Presentation to Linda at the Uxbridge Arms
On 26th October, the branch gave a presentation to Linda Lawton, landlady of the Uxbridge Arms shortly before she left after 23 years at the pub. The award was given in recognition of her dedication over many years to great beer, great service and a great pub! The pub is a welcoming and comfortable back-street local. The presentation of the certificate was given by our branch chairman Les Maggs.
After a couple of pints at the Uxbridge we then hopped on the tube at the nearby Notting Hill Gate station up to Earls Court where we continued with the scheduled survey crawl in that area. We went to the Prince of Teck and Earls Court Tavern.
