By George!

Hi, Beer Lovers, We gather again on Tuesday 14th May at the George and Dragon at Newton by Castle Acre at 8.00. If you haven’t been to this pub since its reopening you are in for a treat, both with the beer and décor. Find it at PE32 2BX, and park round the back, where there is plenty of space. All welcome. Keith writes We are planning our inaugural beer festival on Saturday 7th September at Stow CC, a short walk from The Hare Arms, Stow Bardolph. It will run in conjunction with a 6-a-side cricket tournament that we are hosting, which will hopefully act as entertainment for patrons of the festival, followed by live music later in the evening. The Northwold Crown group report that ‘Following the purchase of the Crown Inn by David and Janice Walton, the project to buy the pub for the community will be wound up as agreed by its investors.’ Lucy, the new editor of Norfolk Nips was compiling the next issue last weekend, so it should be with us soon. If you would like to contribute to a future edition, her guidelines are Articles can take 3 formats: 1 page = maximum 350 words plus 2 photos 1.5 page = maximum 500 words plus 3 photos 2 page = maximum 700 words plus 4 photos Photos should be saved as Jpeg with a file size of at least 1MB. When taking photos please set your camera or phone to high quality / high resolution. Photos can be uploaded directly to Google Drive or sent by email. Think about capturing a wide range of people, places and situations in your photos as this will bring more interest to readers. Contact Lucy at ku.gro.spinklofron@rotide Other events coming up include a regional meeting at Flitwick in Bedfordshire on June 1st. Contact me or Andrea for details. We are also planning a presentation for the Blackstone Engine Bar to acknowledge their success in being named Norfolk Cider Pub of the Year. We should know the Norfolk Pub of the Year in a couple of weeks. Once again we are to host a couple of rounds of the Bottled Beer judging. Bring you diary and we will sort out the dates on Tuesday. Cheers, Jeff
