THE EVENT IN THE TENT BY THE TRENT
CHAIRMAN’S FESTIVAL WELCOME 2013 Dear Festivalgoer Welcome to Newark CAMRA’s 18th Beer Festival, the year of coming of age, And what a year it promises to be - the micro brewery revolution is taking the country by storm. We have 27 (and growing) breweries in our locality alone giving the beer drinker a quality choice that we have not had in living memory. With over 140 beers, this Festival offers a wide choice to suit all tastes, with many of the ales coming from new breweries. There is also an excellent selection of quality ciders, perry and country wines. A vibrant entertainment programme featuring live music adds to the festival atmosphere. Newark Beer Festival has always been known as the “friendly event”, so whether it is your first time or you are a regular friend please enjoy your visit and support the continuing campaign for real ale, so: • Revive, • Imbibe, • Subscribe. David Moore Chairman, Newark CAMRA

Newark CAMRA strives to increase consumer choice of real ale by objecting to pub closures and championing high standards of customer service in the area’s public houses. We support our local breweries by promoting the diversity they bring to the bar. Newark CAMRA also brings national issues such as tax and opening hours to local attention. Importantly, we are a social group of likeminded drinkers of all ages and walks of life. Anyone is welcome to attend our meetings, details of which can be found elsewhere in this programme. This Programme is published by Capital Media Ltd., 2 Halifax Court, Fernwood Business Park, Cross Lane, Newark, NG24 3JP.

CAMRA LADIES GO BELLISTIC
A
s staffing officer of the Newark Beer Festival for a number of years now, I have noticed a steady increase in lady volunteers and some 26% (152) of Newark branch members are ladies. With this in mind, I began to wonder if I could arrange a 2 hour slot at this year’s festival, staffed entirely by Newark CAMRA ladies. The response to my email was fantastic, and now the ‘Beer Belles’ will be staffing all aspects of the festival on Saturday, 25th May from 4.30 until 6.30, looking splendid in their commemorative pink t-shirts. I’m not sure but I think this could be a first for CAMRA? I think this is good positive campaigning for the CAMRA cause and hopefully the initiative will reinforce the point that real ale is not just about men, the ladies also enjoy a pint! As well as the 2 hours of staffing, seven ‘Beer Belles’ from the Newark branch of CAMRA were up
NEWARK BEER FESTIVAL | EIGHTEEN
at silly o’clock on 18th April to travel to Lincoln Green Brewing Company Ltd, Hucknall to brew a one off beer, especially for Newark Beer Festival. The ladies helped devise a recipe with Anthony Hughes of Lincoln Green, who explained how the brewing process worked and gave us fantastic hospitality. With guidance from Anthony and Martin Castledine (also of Lincoln Green) we did everything from start to finish, even the cleaning, so this is definitely our beer! Brewing from scratch was a first for most of the ladies and it was the talking point in the pub during the afternoon as I’m sure it will be for many years to come. If everything went to plan, this beer is a golden, easy drinking 4.2% ale. It should be a nicely balanced beer with a gentle bitterness and good aroma. The brew has been named “Go Bellistic” and is available at the Festival. Louise Harrison

BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US
LINCS & NOTTS AIR AMBULANCE
T
his year’s Newark Branch nominated charity is the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and we will be helping them raise funds at events throughout the year. The charity provides a rapid response emergency MD 902 Explorer helicopter 365 days a year and provides a fast, smooth, efficient journey to hospital. Based at RAF Waddington, the Air Ambulance is fully equipped to attend medical emergencies in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire covering a total of 3,000 square miles. The crew are airborne within a few minutes of a call coming in and flying at 157mph, can reach the furthest points in either county in less than 17 minutes. On board Paramedics are trained to give immediate trauma treatment and average journey time from an accident site to the nearest hospital is approximately 8 minutes, well within the “Golden Hour”. We are ready and available to be called on to assist at the scene of an accident, providing medical treatment together with rapid transportation for those who might not otherwise survive their injuries. Over the last few years we have gradually become accepted as part of an integrated emergency services’ network.
Lincolnshire plays host to a large number of bikers in the summer months making this our busiest season for motorcycle incidents. Often incidents occur in more rural locations which can be up to 45 minutes from the nearest hospital by land ambulance which is considerably longer than the 8 minutes by air. Known locally as the Ambucopter the yellow M.D. Explorer is now a familiar sight above the two counties, we have responded to in excess of 14,300 calls since we began operations in 1994. In 2012 we attended 236 serious road traffic collisions amongst many other incidents. The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is entirely funded by donations and we receive no government funding. We attend between 800 and 1000 incidents every year and each incident costs the charity around £2000 to attend which means that we need to raise a minimum of £1.7million to keep the ambucopter flying and saving lives. Please help us to continue to provide this vital service to the people of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire by supporting us. You could help us by: • By taking part in a local event like a 10k run • By holding a charity motorcycle run in aid of us • Donations in lieu of Birthday presents • Donating unwanted clothes and other items to one of our shops There are loads of ways you can help us, to find out more please do contact us we would love to hear from you!

FESTIVAL ETIQUETTE
B
eer festival virgins should take a few moments here to learn about festival etiquette. If you are standing with an empty glass, pick a brew at random, and then return to this page. Off you go. Now here are some tips to help enjoy your session. 1. The breweries are listed in alphabetical order, followed by the brewery’s location, the beer strength and then a short tasting note. Remember – some of these brews are so new not even our cellarmen have tasted them, so please be tolerant if the descriptions aren’t 100% accurate. 2. We suggest you start at the lower end of the ABV (alcohol by volume) scale, say around 3.5%, and move steadily towards the heavier beers
NEWARK BEER FESTIVAL | EIGHTEEN
at 6 or 7% and beyond. Remember, at this end of the scale you may lose your self-respect, use of your legs, or even your partner! 3. We can’t guarantee that every beer will be available at every session. It is our policy not to serve beer that isn’t ready, and some beers (marked as RES in the list) aren’t likely to be on first. If your choice isn’t available, there may be several reasons: i) We were unable to get the advertised beer – an alternative from that brewery will usually be on offer. ii) The beer is not yet ready to serve – be patient, it may be available a little later. iii) You’re late and it’s already sold out! 4. Don’t forget to eat! Visit our caterers occasionally to help soak up the beer. Or if you just want nibbles, we stock crisps, nuts and locally produced scratchings in the marquee. PLEASE – don’t drink and drive. Soft drinks are available for drivers and we have timetables and taxi numbers at the information desk.

BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US
REMEMBERING... Nigel Brown
S
adly this year’s event is taking place without festival stalwart Nigel Brown, who passed away last October. Nigel worked tirelessly alongside myself, backstage and behind the scenes for many years. His life-long interest in rock music made him a familiar face around the local music scene, his infectious enthusiasm rubbing off on many that came into contact with him. For the duration of the festival Nigel helped preserve the smooth running of the bands backstage, parking, unloading, loading and readying them for sound-check, I will miss his help and personality greatly, as I’m sure many others will. Nigel would have celebrated his 49th Birthday on the opening day of the Beer Festival this year and as a tribute to his many years of selfless service to me and the crew, the stage at the festival will now be named The Nigel Brown Stage.
I would also like to dedicate all this year’s entertainment to Nigel’s memory –rock on mate. Duncan Neil. In memory of Nigel, Rob Neil of Maypole Brewery has produced Nigel Brown Ale. This 4.9% beer is available at the Festival and at pubs in town, with a contribution from every pint sold going to the LIncs and Notts Air Ambulance, Nigel’s favourite charity.
Malcolm Kay
L
ast October we learned of the passing of Malcolm Kay whose “Beery Bits and Bobs” stand was a regular at this and other festival across the country. Malcolm was meticulous about how he set up his stand and although he had extensive lines of merchandise (including T-shirts, Bar Towels, Pin Badges etc.) he could always put his hand on anything in a flash. He was passionate in his love of cricket and would spend many a long hour working on his computer listening to the latest test match. He will be sadly missed by festival-goers everywhere.
