Pub Social Evening + Culture for Current and New/Prospective Members, March 24th

Meet 6.00pm at the entrance to the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square where we will look at the shortlisted candidates for the empty fourth plinth (free exhibition) and then go to the Silver Cross pub, 33 Whitehall, SW1A 2BX for 7.00pm. 

We will reserve an area in the pub and cast our votes to decide on the CLOG choice for the plinth - while enjoying a good choice of beers, wines, food and company! 

The gallery is open late that evening so if you arrive later you can still go to the gallery and then join us in the pub. Current members, new members and prospective members are all welcome.

Prospective and New Members evening

Prospective CLOG members are all welcome to come and socialise with old and new CLOG members. For people new to CLOG the evening should provide a great opportunity find out more about our walks, trips away and other activities. Light refreshments in the form of wine and cheese will be provided.

We will be meeting from 7.00pm in the main hall at Swedenborg House, 20 Bloomsbury Way, WC1A 2TH (access to the hall is via the entrance on Barter Street). It’s just 5 minutes’ walk from High Holborn on the Central and Piccadilly Lines.

Please do bring friends and work colleagues who may be interested in CLOG and we look forward to seeing you there

Next CLOG Pub Evening on Wednesday 21st September at The Anchor Bankside, Southwark, SE1 9EF

The CLOG publicity team is organising the next riverside pub evening on Wednesday 21^st September to give existing, new and prospective a chance to meet up and socialise. This time we will be meeting at a well-known old pub, the Anchor Bankside in Southwark which has a terrace right beside the river. The address is 34 Park Street, SE1 9EF and it is on the south bank of the Thames between Southwark Bridge and London Bridge (right beside Cannon Street railway bridge). It was from this pub in 1666 that famous diarist Samuel Pepys witnessed the awful destruction of the fire of London – he wrote in his diary that he took refuge in ‘a little alehouse on bankside… and there watched the fire grow’.

We will be meeting from 7.00pm out on the terrace (or in one of the bars if the weather isn’t fine). The pub has a good selection of beers and a wide range of food from snacks to pub classics and also provides vegetarian options. The nearest tube station is London Bridge and the easiest way to find the Anchor is by joining the Thames path and following it along to the pub. Pease invite friends and colleagues who may be interested in CLOG. We hope to see you there!
