The GASS book
The Gentlemen's Ale Sampling Society
Enjoying each others company since 1982 - and then putting it all in a book
THE GASS BOOK
Here is how to view it...........
Back in the day a man put his foot down a Rabbit Hole and snapped his Achilles tendon, and as a result had quite a lot of time on his hands.
To while away said surfeit of time said man set to setting out the history of GASS from its inception in 1982 through to the current day -which at said time was October 2014.
Thus was THE GASS BOOK 1982-2014 written.

We hope you enjoy this complete history of the fun, frolics, anarchy, danger, comradeship, travel, companionship, fidelity and downright entertainment we have achieved over some 500 meetings so far (as at August 2023). We also hope it gives you some good ideas to use for your own group of friends.
