Ah the Harrington at Gawsworth home to so many memories – the 20W bulb, pickled eggs, the end of a summer walk, cyclists gathering, the evening folk music sessions all under the vigilant eye of Mrs Bailey who never forgave Robinsons Brewery for introducing hand pumps so she no longer had to take a jug to the cellar.Despite some modernisation the Harrington still remains the model for a country pub,
The Lemmings last played the Academicals in the Plate final where, although they did not disgrace themselves, they lost heavily and weren’t exactly looking for revenge especially as Bob was not playing.
The questions were pretty good and the only bleak spot was when Nick, the champion of 
conferrals, gave three wrong answers!! This must be a record. Tomo saved embarrassment by almost scoring 40!
Original scores Becky 9/9, Rakesh 0/0, Nick 6/12,Tomo15/24 conferred points 10/16 with 5/6 pass-overs.
It was a game played with good humour that was rounded off with with a very tasty selection of sandwiches – many thanks to the Academicals, to the landlords and to Keith question master from the Rams.
