When a local Melksham pub was taken over by a Greek Cypriot chef we were obviously interested. We got chatting with manager Tony, helped out with posters and were invited to get a crowd of grecophiles together for their opening night Meze 29th September 2006.
A good time was had by all - some 34 Grecophiles (Greek-o-File subscribers from Melksham and surrounding area plus pupils from a nearby Greek language classes) ..... and so the Melksham Area Grecophiles Social Club was born. Our aim is to get together with fellow grecophiles to chat about Greece and all things Greek over a drink or two, with Greek fare and Greek music.
We had five more mezes at The Bear, but chef Tony did not take the tenancy on so we came up with a new format for a small core of regulars and ‘occasionals’ who sometimes join us.
Format for meetings is usually at member homes - all bring plate of food to share (cost guide £1.50-£2 per person - eg dips, pies, veg or meat keftedes, feta, olives, etc - shop bought or home cooked) and own drinks.
Call me to register, for more details, to suggest themes or offer a venue.
