1st Hinckley Beer Festival Volunteers Party

Elephant & Castle

Friday 31st October 2008

There was no real reason to hold the party on Halloween, it was just to say 'Thank You' to all the souls who volunteered to help. Perhaps we should have had it the next day - All Saints Day - but then perhaps not!!

It fell to me to make a short speech thanking everyone, hoping they enjoyed working at the Festival & suggesting they might like to do the same next year! I also explained where the profits would go. The response came from the Mayor, Jeffery Bannister, who has recently become a CAMRA member.

Lisa provided an excellent & plentiful buffet, while Tim offered a goodly selection of quality beers. Lisa also showed off her talents as 'Entertainments Officer' organising a few games to keep us amused.

Dave Tibbles (left) won 1st Prize in the Raffle - 3 bottles from the Concrete Cow Brewery.

It seemed to me to be an ideal evening, I hope everyone else enjoyed it. There are a few photos below, taken by Chris, demonstrating the daft things folks will do after a few beers!

Tim tests the beer - again!	It's either my speech or a face pulling competition!	Phill concentrates on his throw	Now it starts to get silly	and sillier	and sillier	............!!!
