Surprise for Noel

The Diary could only do a very quick drive-by to The Mill last night, but at least we did know about the surprise gathering to mark Noel Clare’s last day at CPC.

He certainly didn’t, not having got the ’top secret’ email.

“I just came out for a quiet drink with Frances to mark her birthday,” he said. Then he began to notice a lot of people who wouldn’t normally be in the pub on a Friday night.

On our quick visit, it looked to have the makings of a very good night, even with the music still to come.
