"I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgement in all human affairs." -Albert Einstein, 1950

The South West Pipe Club (UK)

Forthcoming Club meetings — Bloody but unbowed, the South West Pipe Club will continue meeting despite the ban. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our host at the Kings Arms, Buckfastleigh, we will have the use of excellent external facilities to continue enjoying our pastime. If the weather is kind to us, then we will have the pleasure of some fine tobacco, fine drink, good conversation and, during the summer months, the chance to enjoy the evening sun.

Our regular meetings take place at the Kings Arms Hotel, 15 Fore Street, Buckfastleigh, South Devon. Buckfastleigh is just off the A38, approximately 25 miles from Exeter. Click on

this link for a map of the hotel’s location. Buckfastleigh has a tricky one way system, and parking outside the hotel is very limited. There is a car park about three hundred yards from the hotel, in Plymouth Road. Having parked, turn right out of the car park and follow the road. The hotel is on the right-hand side.
