Come back to you on the beers Howard but there are at least 55 real ales most from Kent & Sussex plus there will be a good few Ciders. I am sure we are selling at £3 per pint.

can't be bad harry, hope the weather holds for it - no doubt there will be a decent turn out of forum members.

Last chance to get Friday Beer Festival tickets at £4. Only a few left and on sale at the Mill.
£3 a pint and sold by two half pints so that you can try a few.

don't know if any tickets are still available but it all starts tomorrow at the mill.
rumour has it that the legendary cowpats will be making a special guest appearance over the weekend, getting in a bit of practice for glastonbury.

Just back from the sponsors evening.... some great beers available, not one to miss this weekend. Sadly I will not be able to go again as I have a family commitment.

time to raise this again. tomorrow and sunday tickets not required, just turn up and pay on the door.
weather forecast is for the rest of the weekend to be dry.
don't forget that you can buy by the half pint giving the chance to try more different ales.

Thank you for your comments Barry and Howard, yes we had some good music throughout the weekend and a couple of lads turned up paid to get in and then went out got their guitars and entertained in the garden, even had a few people dancing.
It has been a very successful weekend despite the bad weather on Friday. Thank you to all who came along and a big thank you to our unpaid volunteers who work so hard and to our sponsors who back us year after year and make it possible for us to stage the event. THANK YOU
.
There are a few barrels not quite empty, so Tonight (B.H. Monday) from 7pm it is all £1 per pint. Everyone welcome.

Thank you for putting this up so quick Howard, they only arrived at my home yesterday from the printers so my son must have started to get them out in double quick time.
Yes the beer and cider is all ordered and as other years it should be a great event.

Certainly wish CCM a very good Beer Festival, looks like another great week-end.
I couldn't make it last year and looks like I won't be able to, this year.
Good Luck for good weather too.

Weather not so good but I hope you have a good turnout again without the hardwork done by the unpaid staff the mill would have been closed many years ago.
