It's local Beer Festival season - handy guide to what's on
This time of year is special for anyone who enjoys beer festivals as over the next few weeks there is a multitude of festivals within reach of Gainsborough. These are both other branch events and also those organised by pubs and clubs. We have produced a list below and if anyone is aware of any additional events please let us know so they can be added. Please support these events if you are able and we would be pleased to hear any reports!
Beer Festival meetings continuing
The meetings to discuss the 2013 festival will take place regularly at the Horse and Jockey, Gainsborough, with the next one on Wednesday 24 April at 8.30pm. These meetings are informal and are intended as a pooling of ideas to ensure the festival is successful. Everyone is welcome and we would be delighted to see anyone who has not been involved previously as you may have valuable thoughts which have not crossed anyone's mind. As always please contact any committee member if you need any more information.
