The Network’s Home Counties pub meet has been an all-male preserve to date, although that is no longer the case as evidenced by this hurriedly taken image snapped at the Eight Bells in Bolney on 5th June. It transpires that the pub temporarily lost a member of its bar staff thanks to the lure of John Emmett’s 1933 J1 Midget which resulted in a stand-off. “A spin around the village or no beer?” It was of course difficult to say no, while Kenneth Allen looks on disapprovingly!
