Alan's 80th Birthday, Eye, Suffolk - 8th August 2026

It's the year of Alan's 80th, Claire's 50th, Matt's 21st and Jessica's 18th and there's a weekend of celebrations, including a Saturday party for neighbours and the Brome Swan Cycling Club, in what's almost a reunion for the BSCC as well as a trip down memory lane as it features Alan's new bar - complete with a range of memorabilia from the former Brome Swan, including Nosher's paintings of the pub from around 1994/95 which haven't been seen for years.
