It is nearly time for our 5th potters social evening at The Old Queens Head. The previous ones have been pretty well attended with a dozen or so potters on each occasion.
The plan is to hold them on the first Thursday of every even numbered month (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec). Meeting in the historic Old Queens Head (Sheffield’s oldest pub), Ponds Hill, S1 2BG from about 7.00pm until 9.00ish on Thursday 1st of October. We meet in the upstairs room, so we have it just for us. The stairs are on the left just as you enter the pub. The room has no telly which is a great bonus to conversation.
The pub is very close to both the bus and train stations, 5 and 10 mins away respectively, and there is some metered on-street parking nearby on Shude Hill, free after 8.30pm. I think the machine takes cards but it might just be the Sheffield Council parking app.
The nearest multi-story car park (Castlegate) is only 5 mins walk away on Broad Street West, S1 2BQ. It’s very handy, well lit and easy to use but it is a bit pricy.
The pub has recently got new managers (again) and I know they are planning on providing evening food but I don’t if that has come about yet. If you were thinking of eating it’s best to give them a call on 07895 919929
These meetings are open to all potters not just NPA members.
