George supports 'Proud of Pubs Week' at The Feathers, Wymondham
24th July 2010
Friday 23rd July was the culmination of 'Proud of Pubs Week'. George dropped in to The Feathers, Town Green, Wymondham, to support the campaign run by The Publican magazine, and the importance of 'The Local' to Norfolk community and economy.
“The Feathers is a great ‘local’ - catering for everyone from the regulars who drop in for a pint to passers by, rooms upstairs for local community group meetings (I have had several here) and being a ‘home from home’ for those passing through or staying and working locally. Lorna Palmer, the Landlady, and her father Eddie Aldous, who owns the business, are known locally to do a great joband a service to Wymondham.
“Whilst I was there I met Peter Walton, Wymondham‘s veteran butcher, who had dropped in for his regular lunchtime game of cards. Even on a quiet Friday lunchtime there was a lovely mix of young and old, regulars and passers by, eaters and drinkers.
“Having cycled one leg of my 130 mile constituency bike tour to support ‘The Pub's the Hub Campaign’ I look forward to doing what I can in Parliament to support out local Pubs.”
