BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEER HOLDER 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 issue. This Programme is published by Capital Media Ltd., Aura Commerce Centre, Manners Road, Newark, NG24 1BS. To reach a high proportion of discerning imbibers across East Nottinghamshire, contact the Capital Media team on 01636 302 302.

THE EVENT IN THE TENT BY THE TRENT
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Dear Festivalgoer
T
his is my first year as Chairman of the branch, and I’d like to welcome you to the 17th Newark Beer Festival. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the last Chairman, Duncan Neil, who has left me with such a strong branch and supportive team.
I am pleased that the battle for real ale seems to have been won with almost 1000 breweries in the UK supplying a varied range of beers. However, the problems CAMRA has seen over the years regarding the closure of pubs is still apparent. If we do not support the pubs we will lose the war. So I encourage you to visit some of the very good outlets in Newark whilst you are in town or on any future visits. To give you some guidance, the members of the branch in conjunction with Capital Media have produced a local guide to all the pubs in the area; this is being launched at this festival. Please come along to the Real Ale Guide stand (next to the membership stand) to purchase your copy. Finally, I would like to thank all the volunteers who are staffing the festival - this includes all the work done that you as customers do not see, for instance the committee that put in so much effort throughout the year to organise the event and those who, before and after the festival, set up and take everything down and put the equipment into storage ready for next year’s event. I encourage you all to enjoy the beers, ciders and perries we have on offer, but please remember to drink responsibly and if you have enjoyed yourselves tell your friends as we will be back in 2013.

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
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.

THE EVENT IN THE TENT BY THE TRENT
BEAUMOND HOUSE
F
or the third consecutive year, Beaumond House Hospice is the nominated charity for our branch. The hospice cares for patients and their families within a 15 mile radius offering palliative and respite care. In 2010 we raised £1013.32 and in 2011, £2085.38. These funds have been collected at our beer festivals and other fund raising events. The hospice has an annual requirement of some £800,000, with only 25% of this amount coming from government funding, leaving a big gap, and our co operation is very much appreciated. Following on from the success of last year, Rob and Sandra Neil of Maypole Brewery will be brewing a beer to coincide with our beer festival; sales of this beer will generate 50p per pint towards the hospice. Last year’s brew, Heart of Gold, raised a total of £453 from festival sales and sales at Just Beer, The
Vine and The Prince Rupert. This year’s brew, Solar Storm, will also be sold at these 3 outlets after its launch at the beer festival. Unlike Heart of Gold, Solar Storm is likely not to be a one off brew and could be continued. Further branch fund raising will take place at the forthcoming 5k ‘Sunflower Run’ on the 30th May. If anybody would like to join us, for a £10 entry fee, application forms are available at the Beaumond House reception.
