The intrepid runner Mr. Matthew Dowsett, from ‘Er Majesties Country of England, fowards us his reportage from the small Navarran town of Estella (In the communidad of Mancomunidad de Montejurra, Population: 14, 238, and 1 Guinness bar).
Mr. Dowsett, and his accompanying runner, Mr. Peter Hainan of London Town, spent one week taking part in the town’s traditional bullrunning festivals, where live, wild, four-legged bulls are released onto the streets and locals run in front of them.

Above: Indeed, the Guinness was not in bottle, rather it was on draft. One can only speculate, before August 2010, this tap was used before.
As always gentlemen, Guinness Monday International thanks you for your service to furthering Guinness throughout the world.
Matt Dowsett, our roving Guinness Monday member (who seems to rove all over the place), send us word of the first (as far as the official documentation goes) Guinness Monday in Wales.
Say hello to Sally Griffiths from Wales. The GM was held in the Grand Hotel (the one and only) in Swansea, which in Welsh is “Abertawe, which means “mouth of the Tawe“. Just in case you didn’t know.
Next time Matt: get more people! Guinness goes down better when you have more company!
Matt Dowsett a GuinnessMonday Club member from England was recently in Budapest, Hungary on a business expedition, and had a quick GM with nice lad and a lassy from the Czech Republic.
Below you’ll find the photos from the Hotel Metropol, Budapest, Hungary.
Welcome to the club Lukas and Lucie. Keep drinking that Guinness!
June has been a busy month so far for Guinness Monday in London. GMCVP, Alan Huggett, brought the troops out for a small battle on the streets a few days.
Even Big Ben knows what time it is!
