Our Smoking Place
The Problem
We will not be allowed to smoke in the pub with our friends .
We don't want to stand out in the wind and rain.
We want comfort where our smoking and tolerant non-smoking friends are welcome.

The Solution
A Garage, Outbuilding or Room where we can all meet and do everything that would have been done in the pub - drink home-brew, chat, play darts or pool, watch tv, welcome our friends, our friend's friends and even people we've never met- after all we're allowed to do all these things in our own homes. Everyone's welcome except maybe those under 18 and those we don't want.
But isn't this much the same as the way public houses came about?

The Result
Closed Pubs, unemployed staff -----
and a Pub in all but name but with a major difference - we don't have to comply with licensing laws or any other Government or Local Authority Restrictions.

The Law
What's to stop us? We provide our own drink, club together for the dart board, donate our secondhand carpets, chairs and tables etc.
