An article appeared last week in the Ham&High about Hampstead's local bowling club in Parliament Hill potentially having to share their ground with croquet players. Needless to say this has caused anger amongst the members, but they have been told they need to increase their membership else this will be a real possibility. Seeing as we're hitting the height of summer, it seems an appropriate time to get involved in...

The world cup kicks off, as far as I'm concerned, at 7PM this Saturday evening. Luckily I'll be picnicking during the day upon Hampstead Heath (weather permitting of course) and come 6PM, I'll be dragging everyone down to whichever pub is most convenient. But of course, things like this need planning. Venues are sure to get packed pretty quickly and there's nothing worse than having to stand through 90+ minutes. Well, there...

Congratulations to Steve Hutchinson for becoming the the London Skittles Champion! The final results of the tournament which took place in the Skittles Alley in the basement of the Freemason's Arms on Saturday are displayed below...

Who would have thought Hampstead was the home of one of the oldest sports in the world. This week, an article appeared on Ham&High informing us that the world of skittles is under threat. And no, we're not talking about the sweets here... On the 24th of this month, the Freemason's Arms hosts the world English skittles championship. It's an event that has been hosted in the pub since the 1930s. Skittles seems to be a more...

It’s that time of year once again. Half of the country celebrate whilst the other half despair.

The squad has been chosen, Walcott's been left crying in a corner and it seems that, as ever, the nation is becoming quietly confident. Whether there will be any just reason to be will unfold over the next month and a half, but of course, like all good sport fans, we'll be needing somewhere that provides not only a good view, but a decent supply of beer, and sometimes your front room just won't do...
