		Goodbye & Hello (Yet Again)	14/03/2001

So then whats been going on over the past two or three months. The last time I updated the News Section Tanya was still in charge of pub, and as we all know a lot has changed since then. I won't go into the in's and outs of why Tanya has the left but if you've seen her lately you will notice her bump. I'd like to wish Tanya, Mark and the kids all the best, and good luck with the new baby. They will be greatly missed.

Anyway over the past year we've all got used to the routine. As one relief manager leaves, the next takes over, and for the past two and a half months Wayne has been in charge. Most of you have probably got to know Wayne already but if don't know anything about him, then he is originally from the Wirrall and is hoping to take over the pub on a full time basis. You may have noticed the pub hasn't quite been the same since Christmas, but apparentely all spending has been cut off until a permanent manager is in place. This is why no events have been held lately but hopefully very soon the disco's and karaoke's will be making a comeback.

The next two months are going to be very uncertain but I will keep you informed as I get more information.

		Monday Night Pub Quiz	14/03/2001

Since just before Christmas I have taken over hosting the pub quiz on a Monday night to ensure that they carry on while the future of the Tav's new Manager hangs in the balance. The format of the quiz is 40 general knowledge question, a music round, picture round, and Dingbats section. If you've never been to a quiz in the pub, or if you used to and haven't been up for a while then can I urge you to come along and take part. Its a great laff and the competitive atmosphere is really good. In few weeks I'll be starting up a league for the quiz and recording the scores for each team on the Internet. I'm hoping to organise prizes at the end of the league for the top three teams. For more info then email me, or have a chat with me in the pub.

		General November/December News	12/11/2000

Its been a really busy period in the Tav over the past month. We have had 2 birthday celebrations, a variety of quizes, singers and lots more. Talking about quizes, I'd like to congratulate all the younger people in the pub for doing so well over the past few weeks. At the film quiz last week, all 3 prizes were won by teams consisting of under 25's, and we even saw history in the making when the Valiants came last and won a pack of Digestives. Christmas Eve is almost upon us (or will be by the time I eventually upload this page) and all tickets for the night were snapped up within the first weekend of being available. New Years Eve tickets are being handed out this weekend and due to fire restrictions imposed on the pub there are a limited amount available so make sure you get them early.

		Cassies 21st	12/11/2000

December the Tav was host to Cassie's 21st Birthday bash. After the shocking appearances of Penny Crayon and Sadistic Sadie at previous birthday bashes in the pub, everyone waited with baited breathe to see what entertainment had been arranged. Unfortunately (or maybe luckily) for the men in the pub there was no Shaven Raven tonight, but there was a visit by "Richard Near 'Not Quite Gere' ". The party was a really good laugh, and thanks to the entertaining posters of Cassie as a baby on show, Johns excellent disco, and a free buffet, everyone appeared to have a great time. I have got about 40 photo's which I have now put on line. I've also trying to get a copy of the poem that Richard Near wrote about Cassie, which reveals disturbing details about Cassies dealings with Arthurs Underwear business.

		Tav S & M Spectacular - (Spences 21st)	12/11/2000

For anyone who was lucky enough to see Penny Crayon just over a year ago you'll be pleased to hear that we had a visit from one of her colleagues last week. Spence was celebrating his 21st and so we all clubbed together and thought what could be better than getting him a stripper. What we didn't realise however was the Kinky Copper that we had ordered was actually the famous S & M stripper Sadistic Sadie. By the time she had finished with him, his Crown Jewels had been crushed by a pair of Stilleotoes (the chances of him ever experiencing Fatherhood ruined), and his back was covered in scars from being tied up and whipped. The photo's will be online by the end of the week.

		November News Update - NEW LANDLADY	12/11/2000

First of all I would like to apologise that over one of the most eventful periods in the Tavern, I haven't been updating the site. I do have a good reason for this and it has quite a lot to do with my computer blowing up and taking a good month to fix. Anyway lets get on with the news.

You may have noticed a new face behind the bar over the past few weeks and thats because we have a new landlady, Tania. Tania started out just covering as Relief Manager while Ron and Lorraine went on their honeymoon, but when they arrived back they were informed by the brewery that they were being moved to take over a pub in Newcastle. Tania was then offered the Tav on a more permanent basis and took charge a few weeks ago.

In the space of just a few weeks we've seen a lot of changes, the most noticable being a sudden increase of people on a Friday and Saturday night. The fortnightly disco's will be continuing and there will also be a whole host of live acts on over the coming months. The Tarot card reader will also be returning in just over a week if you would like your fortunes told.As so much is taking place now i'm going to try to regularly update the site. At the top of this page there will be a diary of everything that is going on in the coming weeks, so keep coming back to find out more.
