April saw another successful beer festival, at Kent Hills.  May we take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors and all those who attended throughout the week, for a full list of sponsors please click the link below.

As we said, 20p from every pint of beer sold would go to charity.  The £500 raised went to Margaret Barker, to help pay for much needed cancer treatment. 

On the cricket front, things have picked up after an ordinary start.  The new professional, Juan Theron, arrived  for the third match of the season.  For the first match we eventually managed to get a stand in pro but despite the best efforts of the secretary we failed to produce one for the Stafford fixture.  The next games against Barlaston, Wood Lane and Porthil were much better, all producing excellent victories.  The second team have experienced mixed fortunes, with the highlight  so far being a victory over Wood Lane where Dad's Army stalwarts Captain Mainwaring and Corporal Jones (played by Titley and Hammersley) both scored half centuries.  During the 1st X game at Wood Lane we would occasionally hear the score from Kent Hills - at one point it was announced that Titley is 57.  To which the reply from the crowd was, "We know how old he is, how many has he got?"
