The basic premise is for a ‘think tank’ to be formed comprising of local publicans, brewers, consumers etc., to meet on an informal basis every few weeks to discuss, exchange and develop ideas of how we can increase […]
The presentation to Just Beer will take place on Sunday February 23rd at about 1400. All are welcome so please come along and support our winner.

ALSO – since I’ll be missing from the branch meeting, could I please have all BLO reports. Email for all […]

For the duration of the festival Nigel helped preserve the smooth running of the bands backstage, parking, unloading, loading […]
