Photo Opportunity

Tuesday 13 August 2019

Hi Beer Lovers, The next issue of Nips should be with us on Monday 2nd September and Ros will be in touch about distribution. We could use some volunteers for a couple of routes, so if you are able to help, let me know. The editor Lucy is keen on photographs, so if you have any suitable or can take some let me know. Lucy says ‘We always need more photos and should have them accompanying every article. Please let your members know the photos should be high res, ideally 1mb or more, not blurry and where people are included showing their faces clearly. Thanks a lot.’ There are still places left for the beer tasting on Wednesday evening (21st). If you fancy judging the strong bitters and eating some of Ros’s wonderful food, let me know. No Charge. I have been informed this evening that the Deer’s Leap, formerly the Ark in Thetford is in the process of being demolished. Any information would be welcome as I cannot trace any planning application. Our next meeting is on the 10th September at the Heron in Stow Bridge. We are looking for nominations for our next Pub of the Year, Cider Pub of the Year and Club of the Year. Any Branch member can nominate their favourites (no more than one in each category, please) by our AGM in October. The top 4 will make up our short list and if there are more than four nominations, beer scores will be used to select the top four. Contact me with your choices. We have some 2020 Good Beer Guides on order. They will be £11 each to members, the same as the copies from HQ. If you wish to reserve a copy, please let me know. Your top beer scoring pubs for the last month are Downham Market Crown Hotel 4.5 King's Lynn Goldings 4.38 Downham Market Whalebone 4.38 North Wootton Red Cat Hotel 4.33 Harpley Rose & Crown 4.25 King's Lynn Ferry Lane Social Club 4.25 Thornham Lifeboat Inn 4.25 King's Lynn Live & Let Live 4.25 32 pubs/117 scores
