Don JonesLions May Fair
Posted by Don Jones at 1:52pm on Tue 6 May 08
Wow! Despite my fears about the weather, the event was blessed by the Man Upstairs and seemed to be a big success. We've raised a few more bob which we'll distribute locally.

If you were there and have any comments on the event - good or bad - please let me know.

If you weren't there, what might have persuaded you to come along?
Don JonesSeend Beer Festival - the aftermath

What an excellent do. And great weather too.

There was an added bonus for me in that the day didn't cost too many Brownie Points. Whilst a few mates stayed on the 49 and continued the session at the British Lion, I had a moment of clarity and went home and showed Mandy a relatively good husband.

For the record, Devizes CAMRA members voted Castle Rock 'Harvest Pale' our Beeer of the Festival. I shall try to get his one for Devizes.

It's the Lions May Fair tomorrow. I hope the weather isn't like it was this afternoon.

Is this new Wetherspoon's booozer ever likely to open? Someone told me that up to a couple of months ago, Wetherspoon's pub finder gave an opening date of April 22nd, 2008. Now there's nothing.

I've heard rumour that the conversion work on the old Beale's shop has caused serious damage to the Crown Centre.

All in all, it's been a right old palaver. The pay-back period for this particular pub is going to last for ever.

These will be going on general sale from next week. They're £6 each and you can get them from Devizes Books, the British Lion or by post from:
DBF Tickets
9 Walden Lodge Close,
Devizes,
Wiltshire,
SN10 5BU

(Cheques payable to 'Devizes CAMRA', enclose SAE)

I doubt there will be any tickets available on the door.

They might have dogs on the roll in Swindon but I reckon there's fair few sheep in Devizes.

Or perhaps I'm just being catty?

Seend Beer Festival is taking place this Saturday. If previous years are anything to go by, I can thoroughly recommend it.

And please steer clear of the Espresso Stout. That's mine.
