Are there any pipe smokers in the Birmingham area that would like to join in with us at the John Hollingworth pipe club? We meet up every first Wednesday of every month at the Red Lion (Hockley).
I recently attended your Christmas Dinner, with Ian Walker and his wife Catriona. A wonderful occasion and, though I live a good distance away, I'm aiming to jon you for the meetings as often as I can. I know of no other pipe club nearby (Cheshire) so yours is the one! I look forward to joining you as regularly as I can. Happy smoking.
Oh, I remember you: you were sitting in the far corner right next to Catriona (Ian was sitting right opposite where I was). Sure mate, come over any time you want. I think this could be a good opportunity to share experiences and have a pint of beer with a few friends. I'll be looking forward to seeing you again.
