Hitchin Beer Festival

That time has come.  Potentially the very last beer festival run by Hitchin RT and North Herts CAMRA.  

 

On Friday 12th and Saturday 13th March Hitchin RT and North Herts CAMRA will be providing much needed refreshment in the form of our annual beer festival.  Last year was an absolutely stonking event… we stupidy managed to run out of beer early on Saturday afternoon.

This year we can assure you that this will not happen again.  Firstly we are ordering in 20% more beer than last year, that is going to be 70+ British ales, beers and stouts in addition to foreign lagers and of course the ever popular ciders and perrys.

Entry is free to Round Tablers if you bring proof of membership/badge/top etc.

The event raised over £11k last year despite running out of stock – this is split between Hitchin RT and CAMRA.

We have a posse of Swedish tablers joining from our sister table Nassjo so we need a bit of protection – please come!

Those outside of the locality will not know about the long raging debate about the future of Hitchin’s Town Hall, our venue.  The vote on its future takes please shortly after the festival. There is a great possibility that this is going to be the last festival.  Please come along to make it a good one.

Des was a member of Amersham Round Table for a short while, before he was diagnosed with cancer. We thought he had managed to ‘beat it’ but unfortunately this proved not to be the case and a strong reaction to the transplant last summer which led to complications and he passed away in September 2009

HOUSE SALE

Sunday 21 February Scout Hut Park Avenue Bushey Herts please arrive for 2pm

REEF TELEVISION ARE FILMING THE SALE FOR ‘TRASH TO CASH’ ON BBC ONE

HALF OF THE PROCEEDS FROM ANYTHING SOLD WILL BE DONATED TO

Round Table India Project “Building Girls Toilets at Schools” To help them remain in education

Hope to see you there!

Just to let you know that Colin and I have agreed to take part in a BBC Programme Trash for Cash.  

The deal on the Show is that proceeds of disposing of our excess stuff is divided between us and a charity of our choice, we are hoping to raise enough money to build a toilet block at a girls school in India. This is not an impossible task as it only costs £600 to build a toilet block.

The toilet block will be built by Round Table and Ladies Circle in India so I know all the money we raise will be spent in Building materials and local Labour  – nothing will evaporate in administration.

I have been heavily involved in this Project for 2 years and so far Ladies Circle international have raised enough money to build 120 toilet blocks, and talking to the local people in India  one school has had 50 Girls return to education since the toilet block has been built, this makes such a difference to these girls, Please if you are able join us at the house sale we would love to see you. 

Thanks Again

Chris and Colin
