The Waterloo, Douglas

Family History

My father lived in Ballakermeen and died there in 1978.  I am trying to find out as much information about him as possible.  His name was John Grady aka Jack Grady and lived at 34 Ballakermeen Drive.  I am hoping to make a trip to the Isle of Man soon.  I was wondering if anyone could tell me any of the local pubs in that area where he might have drank and if any of the regulars remember him.
Thank you in anticipation.

beer.com

The beer.com website address was sold in 1999 for $80,000 and was sold a few months later to InterBrew for $7,000,000.  A look at the website and you wonder when they lost interest!

Any thoughts on a joint application to the Isle of Man Government Visitor Facility Improvement Fund?

• maximum 40% but 50% if an application from a non-profit organisation
• minimum project cost £5,000
• maximum grant £1,000,000

How about some spare space at MNH Rushen Abbey and an export led ”Biere de Abbaye”??

All comments welcome….

Bottles

Why can we not have bottled real ale in Okells pubs that do not sell cask?

The Rosemount has bottle IPA at £2.02 for nearly a pint.  If all pubs did, CAMRA members would be more likely to drink in other pubs.

CAMRA Off-Peak Discount Scheme

Some branches have negotiated a real ale discount with a CAMRA membership card on off-peak nights (from Sunday to Thursday) with local brewers and national pub chains such as Wetherspoons.

Do you think it would be popular in the Isle of Man?
