Here you will find the Distilled Wisdom of over 30 years of Pub Night.

The basic idea of Pub Night is that a group of people (known collectively as the Pub Night Council) meet in pubs to drink beer, play dominos and generally put the world to rights. They are, as you would expect a literate bunch. At the moment, we vote for the venue and date of the next pubnight after last orders. This has been known to descend into chaos, in front of international observers. Three different voting procedures were proposed at one stage to change this to a new kind of computer mediated chaos, but were not taken forward.

News

Pubnight has now moved off GoogleMaps and onto it's own mapserver. There might be some minor glitches and not all icons appear if they overlap so you might have to use the map navigation to zoom in / out and to pan around

Pubnight is now using a responsive theme so it should be a lot more usable on mobile devices - some pages like the town maps have problems in that the map is still too wide but we're working on that.

The The Angry Parrot, Cheltenham's first Micropub closed down just before Christmas 2022.

Next Pub Night

Details on the next Pub Night can be found on the Next Pub Night page. This page is automatically updated when the decision is made ... assuming that someone remembers to let Doctor Tone know.

Please Note - sending spam emails to Dr Tone is a stupid thing to do:

"We seem so hell-bent on establishing new 'tradition' that all it takes is for a couple of blokes to get together for a drink in a pub for a few weeks running and before you know where you are people are weaving tapestries of the scene and sticking their fingers in their ear and singing folk songs about it" - Fruit Flies Like a Banana - by Steve Haywood
