Hi everyone,

I was really shocked that a group called turning point UK are planning to protest at the great exhibition tomorrow (friday 11am) over a drag storyline event the pub hosted last year.


I was thinking what we could do to show solidarity with the drag community, and fight this wave of toxic division and ignorance that seems to be attempting to disrupt a peaceful and inclusive community in ed.


I have a link for the progress flag if anyone wants to print this and display it in their window tomorrow.

Obviously best to buy a window cling but in time for tomorrow a printed version is a quicker option!


A small gesture, but it sends a message to protesters that we stand against them, and a positive message to the drag community .


Just trying to help!

See their flyer, attached and a bit more info here about this right-wing youth group /“white supremacist” American import supported by the likes of Lawrence Fox aka panto dame 'Widow Wanky' and a few fake vicars - https://hopenothate.org.uk/2019/02/05/everything-need-know-launch-turning-point-uk/

It's going to be a non event

On no its not

Oh yes it is


There are no current plans for drag Queen story telling so not sure why anyone is going at all but each to their own and maybe everyone turning up will buy a drink or lunch and make it a goldmine event for the owners 😀

    • 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] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
