THE FLAT CAP AND MUFFLER SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB - Affiliated and Categorised
Created | Updated Aug 18, 2009
When a few of us here ooop North decided to arrange the Great Northern Meet up, we wondered who else would be interested in beer and a few laughs? Wot a daft question!
The Inaugural Meet was held on the 4th August 2001 at the Trafford Centre, Manchester, and that started it all off. The Leeds Radish came next followed neatly by a mini meet in January 2002, The Mashed Potato in May 2002, the The Marrow held in August 2002, and the The Trafford Turnip in December 2002
THE NEXT STEP
It was suggested by Bagpuss that we formalise the Flat Cap and Muffler Club and so here we are. To join this illustrious band, simply sign up below, you don't even have to be a reet gud northern researcher, to join, just be willing to travel for some good beer, or even be present on paper like Mark Moxon was at the Spring Onion, and Amy Pawloski at the 1st mini-meet.

At the recent inaugural Committee Meeting, Croz was elected as Official Club Photographer and Archivist and Phil as the man with HIS chair and HIS own tankard.
