JOHN PYE & SONS are to hold a special reunion for former Nottingham Shipstone's brewery staff at the historic site on Wednesday June 2nd.
After a Bygones feature of the old Brewery site appeared in the Nottingham Evening Post with an appeal for more recollections from former staff, John Pye & Sons Auctioneers were inundated with expressions of interest.
As a result, John Pye & Sons have decided to open the doors of the old Brewery (now John Pye & Sons auction house) for a special reunion for ex-staff to tour the site, see how it has been regenerated into a thriving auction house and reminisce about the old days.
So far some 40 ex-employees have confirmed attendance, with scores of long term ex-employees set to attend, some with service stretching back as far as 1943.
The itinerary for the day will be as follows:
- 10am - 10.30am: Welcome Refreshments
- 10.30am - 11.30am/12pm: Tour of the 5 acre site with Adam Pye, MD & Principal Auctioneer
- 12pm - 3pm: Reunion buffet and drinks
- 3pm - 4pm: Close.
If you are an ex-employee of Shipstone's 'Star' Brewery and would like to attend please contact Cathy Rowson, Marketing Manager, at John Pye & Sons on 0115 970 60 60 or email cathy@johnpye.co.uk and confirm attendance by 11am on Tuesday June 1st.
