As announced in the last edition, our four finalists for this year's award were The Twa Dugs, West Kilbride; Weston Tavern, Kilmaurs, Prestwick Pioneer, Prestwick; and The Grapes, Stranraer.
A set of judges from each of our 4 social areas visits the pubs, and the overall winner for this year was chosen as The Twa Dugs, West Kilbride. Voting was very close with just a few marks separating the top three. Congratulations to Debbie and her staff on winning the award. The presentation of the award will be held in the pub on Saturday 8 June at 2pm. The 585 bus to/from Ayr & Greenock stops right outside the door, and West Kilbride Station is just 5 mins walk away. A short Branch Meeting will be held that afternoon as well.
Branch Club of the Year 2019
Cambusdoon Sports Club
Our Club of the Year is once again Cambusdoon Sports Club, Alloway. Congratulations to them, and they will now progress to the Scottish heats of the competition.
The presentation will be made at the club's annual beer festival on Saturday 3 August. This year, the 2-day festival will coincide with the 160th anniversary of the cricket club in Ayr and will make up part of the celebrations. The first team will take on Dumfries on the Saturday and there will be a 6-a-side competition on the Sunday. All former players and those affiliated with the club are invited back to celebrate.
There will also be a new, specially brewed beer by Ayr Brewing Company called 160* - a summer pale ale available in can throughout the summer and on cask at the festival.
