Bar name

Couple more suggestions with a link to the early 45:

The Harden Lounge:

You could print off this picture, frame it, and place it in your bar:

Fantastic guys, a few very good options there.

For info, I have been told that each Commando Unit now has a Harden Troop. They have been set up as a rehabilitation troop much like Hunter Company at CTCRM. There, injured lads through training, deployments or engagements can be nursed back to health and hopefully back to the fighting companies quicker. I didn't realise its affiliation to the name 'Harden' until I read the citation there, now seems all rather apt!

And Pete, I think a nice big copy of that photograph on the wall would look flabby! Thanks!

The Cap Comforter.

The Rope & Toggle.

The Milling Arms.

Well gentlemen; The Butcher & Bolt officially opened last night. Bottles of Commando Hoofing beer and ciders were consumed in vast qualities whilst sitting in the commando/highland themed bar. I will attempt to upload a picture or two of the converted garage so you get an idea of the decor ect

Glad to hear of the opening night success. Any problems uploading photos just let me know.

An annual meeting at the 'Butcher & Bolt' - a new venue for the Events diary perhaps!? :wink:

Unfortunately the bar is a tad too small for that, however I do like the sound of that!

Ok pics....

The evenings special treat

In my garage I have ladders, buckets, tools, paint pots, bags of sand, and even rock salt for the snow that never came this year, and copious amounts of clutter which makes it nigh on impossible to get the car in. You have a fire and mantle, bar and chairs, a sofa, music, framed pictures, a beer that looks as good as the name, and talking of names, a garage with a great name. A masterpiece indeed !

Lang may yer lum reek!
