The West Norfolk Cider Pub of the Year is the Blackstone Engine Bar. This is the second success for this venue, but the first under the current management. Andrew is arranging a presentation date. Our main award of West Norfolk CAMRA Pub of the Year goes to the Rose and Crown at Harpley, which very narrowly beat off completion from multiple winners, the Kings Arms at Shouldham and the Angel at Larling. A presentation date for the certificate has been set for Tuesday 26th March, so keep this free and look out for more details when they have been finalised. Congratulations to both our winners. Chris has resigned as the Editor of Norfolk Nips and the current edition should be going to press shortly under the interim guidance of Lucy, who can be contacted at ku.gro,spinklofron@rotide. Ros will be in contact with distributors when the copies arrive. Our next branch meeting will be at the Globe in Kings Lynn at 8.00 on Tuesday 12th March. Don’t forget to pay for your parking if you use the Market Place, but then again, you can use your Wetherspoon Vouchers. There is also a Regional meeting on Saturday 9th March at the Lacons brewery in Yarmouth. This will include a brewery trip. Contact Andrea for full details. It seems that we have decided on the date for a trip to Derby as the weekend of 12th-14th April. I am awaiting details of suggested accommodation and an itinerary from Chris, and will circulate it when it arrives. A couple of pubs that have been listed for sale or to let recently, The Ship at Brandon Creek and the Kings Arms in Watton.
