ONE of Britain's most famous television broadcasters came to Weston Rhyn earlier this week to discuss his relationship with alcohol.

Adrian Chiles, who lists The One Show, Match of the Day 2 and ITV's England internationals coverage among his credits, was at the Holroyd Theatre based at Moreton Hall School, on Monday, December 5.

His appearance was part of a tour to promote his new book 'The Good Drinker' in conjunction with Oswestry-based Booka Bookshop.

Tim Morris, owner of Booka, described Adrian as a 'lovely chap' and said it was great to meet him.

He added: "Adrian was really open and honest and had a great sense of humor.

"I really enjoyed the talk and I think the audience did too, and I am really grateful that Adrian travelled all the way from London to us."

Booka describes 'The Good Drinker', as a "humorous and heartfelt exploration of the unsung pleasures of drinking in moderation", and that was the focus of the night.

Interviewed by Caroline Lang, former broadcaster, they both delved deep into the book and explained the main themes of it.

But this was not the last event from the Oswestry bookshop this year.

Next week, on Wednesday, December 14, Booka will be hosting none other than Nigel Owens, one of the most famous referees in world rugby.

The event will take place at the Holroyd Theatre, where the bookshops tends to host most of their larger events.

The evening will start at 7.30pm, and it will highlight Nigel's autobiography, where he talks about his life and career.

Unfortunately tickets for the event are sold out.

Tim added: "We are really excited for next week, and can not wait for another great event."

He said that they already started making the schedule to cover the first part of next year, and that they will announce that next week.
