A huge thank you to everyone who helped at this year's Festival. If you did a couple of hours or worked all week, your contribution is important. We had more staff working than ever before and the customers commented on the short wait they had. We shifted over 30,000 pints of beer and cider and signed up over 100 new members - what a week!

Your support is appreciated, look out for details of the Winter Festival on this website (1st-3rd February 2007) and pencil in next year's Summer Festival 10th-14th July 2007!
