Windmill Crawley

My own local watering hole The Windmill (Crawley) looks like being the first pub casualty of Covid 19:

We called in there last night and Bev informed us it was likely to be closing its doors on Monday (23rd March). Ankle-biters will be banned for the weekend.

Our table will be left there in situ to await happier times.

So the Zeds are rendered homeless for the foreseeable future.
We have one home league match and one Roy Wells Handicap home match to fit in to complete this season:  
Should the League be able to resume activities before the pub is able to re-open we would be looking to play these at a neutral venue, possibly somewhere along the A272.
But hopeful that the pub will eventually re-open.

[edit 26/9/20 - pub re-opened 4th July with distancing and hygiene measures in place. Table available to practice on but no league play allowed yet]

That is bad news Clive.

Fingers crossed it's only temporary. 

Under lockdown rules, Windmill closed again until 3rd December.

Margo and I have done our best to reduce wastage, the Strongbow went on Tuesday and the last of the Fosters on Wednesday !

Windmill has re-opened again (as of Sat 12th). Condition of service is buy a filled roll with side plate of chips, leave a few on plate and you can stay as long as you like !

Expecting quite an attendance on Wed for Liverpool v Spurs.  Happy days !

Sounds a good way of respecting the government's request to be more careful in the run-up to the relaxation in social distancing rules for fear of infecting loved ones over Xmas.

Quote from government advice:
You should reduce unnecessary contact with people you do not live with as much as possible in the two weeks before you form your Christmas bubble.
