June 2022
I was appointed to be a volunteer steward at the Prospect National Conference in June 2022.
The conference was held in the Bournemouth International Centre from 12 to 14 June.
It will not surprise you that I managed to find time to visit some pubs.

Got off train at Pokesdown for Boscombe for 3 pubs.
First stop was the Wight Bear.
