We could have tastings of White Ace and what not,preferably on a bench at Queens Park.

 Think the CG extension would be better.....there's quite an extensive range of dosser's specials....unfortunately they don't contain much in the way of apples.

Cider is foul.  I like the wine idea, will we be able to select from a fine variety of cheeses and maybe some cured meats with a touch of olive oil and bread as well?  Maybe a different wine can be tasted in each block of the stand.

  Recently wondering around Wanborough, I discovered it was a cider making area....mainly for local consumption but some went into the Works.

  The hedgerows are still full of apples, now left to rot.

   At an ale fest you can stand around and talk about hints of this and hints of that, but the main objective is to get pissed.

I figure the wine club should be the same, there is but one ultimate aim.

and there should be cheese.

 I agree, birds like wine, the last two times I've joined them in bibulous activity, I've succeeded  in the ultimate aim . 8)  No fucking idea what I was drinking mind.
