		TMIO win Battle Of The Bands Final In Birmingham	11/05/2007

	Earlier this year "This Machine Is Off" entered the Jack Daniels Soundcheck battle of the band competition, up against 270 other bands from all around the UK. They won the first round, and got through to the regional final in which they kicked ass, and last night they went back down to Brimingham to compete in the National Final. Taking a coach load of stokie supporters with them, "This Machine Is Off" invaded Walkabout to compete against the other 6 finalists. From early on it was apparent that they were in a different class to the competition, but they had a long wait to play as they were billed last at 12am (read more)

		St Patricks Day	18/03/2007

	Ever since Mick and Chris have been at the Meg, you've always been able to guarantee that St Patricks Day will be one of busiests nights in the Meg. This year was no different, the place was rammed. A fun night of Guinness drinking and Irish jigging was had by all. Click here to see the photos.

		Red Nose Day	18/03/2007

When it comes to supporting Charity then the Meg never does things by halves. I'd expected that this night would be no different but I never could have predicted just how mad it would be. Hally got gunged, one of Johns Germans friends ended up naked in a bath in front of the whole pub, soon to be joined by a compelely starkers Si Cope and Rosie! Yep, you read that right Rosie got naked!! It was a crazy night and in total the pub raised a whopping £786.40 for Comic Relief.

		Halloween	05/01/2006

Halloween is always one of the best fancy dress nights in the Meg, and this year wasn't any exception. The theme of the night was "Ugly Mug Ball" and there were plenty of Ugly Mugs to be seen, most of whom were just normal drinkers who hadn't even dressed up. See the photo's here.

I've also fixed the website so photo's can now be viewed in Firefox. Sorry about the bug!!

		Website Photo's Now Fixed	05/01/2006

Since the site moved to a new server a lot of the old photo's stopped working. I've finally got round to this to looking at this and I've found its quite a big problem and which has taken me a few nights to fix. I'm now looking into why some people can't view the new photo's I've been putting on.

More news coming soon....

		Finally caught up	05/01/2006

Its been a busy few months in the Meg, and I somehow managed to fall behind again with the photos. We're now back on track though and there are 3 or 4 new sets of photo's online included Dave Doyles party and Gav & Wendy's Wedding. I've also added a new video section for some of the quality video clips I've been able to take.
