Opening

Home

Opening and "opening" related things, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about opening. If you have anything to contribute concerning opening that is not mentioned here, please chip in. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other places it will only return opening pubs / places I have been to or plan to go to. It will hopefully return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try opening on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and even international places...
