Local Pub Festivals

Tony D — Thu, 13 May 2010 21:03:13 +0000

I’ve added the beer festival 20 -22 May, at The Old Fountain, Baldwin St, London to the list (stretching the definition of local!). It’s their first festival but I’m expecting good things since the pub is branch POTY winner, and a good visit at any time, with or without a festival.

Sat 15th minibus trip and Cider award

Tony D — Thu, 13 May 2010 20:31:09 +0000

The minibus trip for Saurday 15th has been cancelled due to lack of interest. However, this does not affect the presentation of the Hitchin Beer & Cider Festival’s Cider Of The Festival award to the Apple Cottage cider producers, that will take place at 1pm in the Medieval Food Hall (Baldock Community Centre) during the Baldock Medieval Street Fair, which is going ahead as planned. It will be good if as many people as possible can be there.

March Diary

Tony D — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:28:53 +0000

See the Diary (click on the tab above) for March social events.

The main event is, of course, the Hitchin Beer & Cider Festival on the 12th and 13th. Planning and preparation are well in hand, and there will be lots of traditional British beers, foreign beers, ciders and perries. Come and help us drink it! Better still, as the event is staffed by volunteers from CAMRA and the Round Table, if you are in either of these groups and want to volunteeer to help us serve it, contact the Festival Organiser in advance (and as soon as possible).
