WE ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN!
Putting the disaster of the second burglary behind us, we had a good week of getting used to the bar. The staff are all highly motivated to make this venture work and the pub is looking fabulous.
Opening day really began when we picked mum and dad B up from the airport. It is by pure luck that they arrived for the opening day celebration and it makes the occassion even more special.
The party began at 7 pm and for two hours, it was absolutely manic as our friends and aquantances joined us in wetting the pub's head. It was great to see Tuskers reaslly busy and the number of people generated a real buzz and a great atmosphere. There were a few minor hiccups on billing and running short of certain types of glasses, but compared to the happy atmoshpere, these were mere blips and no blemish on the evening.
Later on, things quietened down a little and we were able to speak to people for longer. We got excellent feedback and the evening was a wonderful success.
