Support and "support" related things, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about support. If you have something to contribute concerning support 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 pubbing or other places it will only return support pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more general search please try support on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and even international places...
As it turns out there are no pubbing / places concerning support anyway. Is there something I have missed? Please let me know!
