Rochford Beer and Cider Festival

[slapheadsteve]

Any C.A.M.R.A. members are welcome to lend hand Free Ale and Food, for willing volunters. You will get taken off the bar if you are showing signs of having drunk too much
Charity this year is Roots and Shoots Sutton Road.
Fingers crossed we can raise two and a half grand for this worthwhile charity like last year.

Very much hope to be able to get along to this on the Friday night. Always a terrific event although it does get busy!

Yes we usualy get to our capacity around 6.30 p.m. on the Friday, and then its one in one out till usually just before 9p.m, when more people leave then want to enter the venue. Saturday is less busy, but with the same amount of Cider and Ale. Saturday people think is packed but its very comfortable.

Only snag is Dave I don't drink halves like a lot of the real ale hunters do but I'll have some fun casting my eye over the wares on offer.

 

[slapheadsteve]

Just two days left, plenty of beer left, but its been very busy.
Hopefully see you all many shrimpers have been already.

Thank You for volunteering. My two co-organisrer's are season ticket holder's, our Shrimperzone away travel organizer is also volunteering as are many others who support S.U.F.C., so you will be in safe hand's. Be a bit short of volunteers on the Saturday afternoon though due to the game at Roots Hall.
No I live in Rochford and usualy drink in the Miley or sometimes Golden Lion or the West Road Tap near the ground

Anyone who is a C.A.M.R.A. member an can spend a few hours helping especially on the Sunday set up and take down plus evening. We would welcome your help, if you do enough hours there is free beer and food involved.
More important the chance to chat with many Blues supporters.
Just go to the South east Essex C.A.M.R.A. website, and volunteer Cheers.
