And with rooms to hire for meetings, too! Melton Mowbray may style itself the Rural Capital of Food; the museum is the key to understanding how that claim came to be made (Cattle - Cows - Milk - Stilton Cheese (& Butter) - Whey - Pigs - Pork - Pies, from pigs and local flour mills). But it also has really interesting local features on Melton's efforts in the World Wars (Defence Animals Centre, Auster aircraft, etc) and of course the inevitable history of Foxhunting in the Shire Counties. Good opening hours and helpful staff - try it. You won't be disappointed.

Lots of interesting stalls at Melton Market, & a good way to spend a few hours walking round, Apart from the cattle Market, the stalls are very varied from vegetables, meat, cheeses, antiques, a very affordable fashion Jewellery stall, bedding & much much more. I really enjoyed it. And everyone was so friendly. Opens at 8 till 2p.m. Every Tuesday. I definitely recommend it for a bargain.

41 Club is a UK association of ex Round Tablers. And so it was that as my penultimate monthly even as Current Chairman, I organised a trip to Belvoir Brewery for a merry band of 9 +driver. We received a friendly welcome from Colin, ably assisted by Michael (an ex pub landlord) behind the bar. Colin is clearly passionate about his business as a brewer and purveyor of great beers! After an interesting visit 'behind the scenes', coupled an informative talk by Colin on his "career in brewing', and the processes and materials involved in the craft of brewing, we retired to the lovely bar / restaurant to sample Colin's wares, and enjoy some delightful local produce as part of our" Tour Package". More beers followed before we poured ourselves on to our mini bus, for the drive home. An excellent evening out, which thoroughly recommended to beer buff. Or just take a lovely drive out for a light snack, a glass of beer, and be sure to take some bottles away with you to be enjoyed at home! "Thank you Colin and Michael" for a thoroughly enjoyable and informative evening!

Our 1st time In the games room so didn’t no what to expect and we both thought it was brilliant. Had a fab time it was really exciting I think we have the bug will definitely do more and recommend it. The staff were great Clear instructions and really got into character. I can not recommend Twinlakes more not just the games rooms but the whole park. There really isn’t anywhere like it and it’s a complete bargain if you get a annual pass. There really is something for everyone all in one place.
