free bike maintenance with hands-on tuition May 21st


Recommended Posts

This two-hour session is a drop-in not a course. It runs from 6.30-8.30pm is at the Lettsom Tenants Hall at 114 Vestry Road SE5 8PQ. What gets taught depends on what problems you bring through the door. The idea is to fix what's wrong while showing you what needs to be done and why so that next time you can consider tackling it yourself.


The sessions are sponsored by Southwark Cyclists and the Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association. The volunteers come through Southwark Cyclists plus a professional mechanic to help with the more esoteric problems. The Lettsom provides the space at a cut rate. You don't need to join anything or live on the Lettsom to take part -- it's all free and open to all.


The only tricky bit can be finding the hall which is tucked away in the estate. The best verbal description I've beem given is uphill past the shops and down an alley on the left. There's a picture of the hall here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-2/


Southwark Cyclists are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which works for safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and open to all. You can follow us on Twitter @southwarkcycle or for more info on these sessions you can text me on 07842 640 207

    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4]
