Welcome to the 33rd CAMRA South East Essex Beer & Cider Festival This successful festival is organised and run entirely by CAMRA volunteers and has grown every year for the past 10 years. This biggest thank you needs to go to the 70 strong army of CAMRA volunteers, who work unpaid to bring you this festival.

Many of them take time away from work, or running their businesses to be able to help. They do this because they believe in real beer and cider and want to share with you the great tastes of these quality products. With extended opening hours and more tasks needing to be done, without their time and hard work this festival would not take place. Please consider joining us and help to continue running this fine event.

So go and enquire at the membership stand in the main hall for more details. Without the active membership increasing, this event could be under threat of not happening in the future.

Our pubs around the country are closing at an alarming rate and without pubs there would be nowhere to enjoy draught real ale and cider. So please, after this festival do go and visit your local pubs or pubs in another town or village. Then do it again next week and regularly after that. Pubs are a unique part of our heritage, and you can help to keep that heritage alive by drinking in them.

I would also like to congratulate the Alexandra Yacht Club in Southendon-Sea who recently were awarded CAMRA East Anglia Regional Club of the Year 2012. With two real ales and many real ciders normally on, it’s well worth a look. And although not in our branch area, the winner 33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

of the CAMRA East Anglian Pub of the Year 2012, as well as CAMRA Essex Pub of the Year 2012 is the Compasses, Littley Green. This is the former Ridleys brewery tap and is now a free house. Please do give these a visit as you will not be disappointed.

Finally enjoy the festival and please drink responsibly, and many thanks for attending this year’s event.

Mark Bullock

Chairman - CAMRA South East Essex

THANK YOU Apart from our volunteers and sponsors, there are many other people and businesses who have helped behind the scenes.

We would particularly like to thank: George's Brewery for supplying beer for the Set-up volunteers, TapRoom magazine, Graham and Jackie at Recognition Express, Wren Printed Packaging, Rob Walster and, all 24 of the pubs taking part in our “Ale Trail to the Rochford Beer & Cider Festival” The Ale Trail encourages people to try real ale and real cider in different pubs throughout South East Essex.

To see all the participating pubs please visit www.seecamra.org.uk If your pub would like to take part next year, please contact maggiecamra@hotmail.co.uk

Organisers Welcome A very big Rochford welcome to all our friends old & new. You will no doubt notice we have made quite a few changes this year.

The back (National) bar has been moved around. Plus we have changed the height & width of all the bar areas. This enables us to stack more beers to give you a greater choice.

Although I assure you my beer team wont compromise on quality. You will also notice the tarpaulins which covered the floor have been removed. Which I hope will also enhance your comfort. We are again lucky not to have lost many pubs in the Rochford area. Yes we have lost a small amount of pubs, but compared to other areas I have visited we have come off very lightly. We want to keep it that way!!

So I would urge you during the hours of closure to visit some of our fine Rochford pubs in the village or surrounding countryside. They are too numerous to mention & all serve a cracking pint of real ale & some even proper cider. Our enhanced beer list starts at a award winning 2.5% ale to a whopping 10% delicious barley wine. I am sure you have noticed some rare ales on the Celtic Bar. It has been very difficult & time consuming obtaining all the ales especially the ones from Northern Ireland. I hope you think its worth it. Don’t forget if you would like to take some ale or cider home, take away containers are available at the bars.

measurements. His name is Colin King.

Thank You Colin. You have really made a difference. The changes would not have happened without your input. Last year I received quite a few comments at my personal email stephen.dunham@virgin.net or by a simple old fashion chin wag. You will probably notice more Christmas Ales & copper coloured bitters. This is due to customers taking the time to talk or email me.

Date for your diary. Next year's festival is from Tuesday 19th to Saturday 23rd November. Put that in your diary still at our wonderful venue The Freight House Rochford.

Steve

I would like you to give some respect to all those working at the festival for your enjoyment. We all give our time up for no payment, due to our love of real ale & cider. I would like to thank the beer festival committee for their hard work over the year. You may be surprised but the planning for next year really does start when this year's festival finishes. This year I would like to single one member of the committee who has really excelled this year by driving forward the changes you notice now. He has visited other festivals attended meetings & taken countless 33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

Memories The CAMRA magazine for the Chelmsford and Mid-Essex Branch recently published an article on Grays Pubs in Chelmsford which included a paragraph on the Railway Tavern.

This brought back many memories for me.

Very shortly after I started working in Chelmsford a friend introduced me to the Railway Tavern. What struck me about the place was how old fashioned it was under the stewardship of Leslie Woolard. Best use was not made of the available space in what was already a narrow building. In all my time there I can never recall the interior décor being changed; the only perceptible difference was that the public bar, frequented at that time by heavy smokers, annually had increasingly darkened nicotine brown walls and ceilings.

The other feature of the public bar was a small aquarium containing a grossly ugly Lion fish. This creature had several spines, the tips of which allegedly contained enough poison to kill a man. How that would have happened these days under Health & Safety is debatable since I feel sure that a person out of control due to alcohol consumption might have tried to test the theory! A particular highlight was the feeding of the Lion fish. A person would bring in a live gold fish. Leslie would take care to explain to the first time observer of this ritual, that the goldfish was deformed and would otherwise have been taken to the vets to be humanely euthanized.

The hapless goldfish would be carefully lowered into the tank, the dunker, being obviously aware that one touch from the Lion fish’s spine, would render him fit only for a visit to the undertakers! As the goldfish blinked to adjust its eyes to the glare of the 100watt light bulb dangling above the tank, the Lion fish lurking at the bottom of the tank, would swivel its horrible eyes upwards and, once it had focused on the goldfish, it opened its huge gape, sucking in water and goldfish and, in a flash, it was all over!

6

I usually frequented the saloon bar, a modest improvement on the public bar; the attraction there was that, during the cricket season, a chalkboard was regularly updated with the Essex score and, if there was a test match on, the service was extended to cover that too.

But the gem of the establishment was Leslie Woolard himself. He spoke with a country burr that I would have thought was north Essex/South Suffolk but, I wouldn’t mind betting he was born in the pub! Once Les recognised you as a regular he gradually got to know about you. He knew of my love of walking, particularly in the Lake District, and, if I missed a week in the pub, I was invariably greeted with “have you been walkabouts again boy?” He used to admire my photographs which were landscapes usually featuring rain and snow!

He had a phenomenal memory too. On one occasion my son came to visit me in Chelmsford. I introduced Steve to Les and he was greeted with a warm handshake and told how pleased he was to meet him. About nine months later I took Steve there again and, as we walked through the door, Les said “hello Steve, nice to see you again”. Now that is customer care, except the term wasn’t in use then!

In those days I did something that I rarely do now; I drank Greene King beer! Les kept a perfect pint. One day I said to him, upon entering the pub, “What’s the beer quality like today Les?” This was a superfluous question, more in the line of small talk.

“Don’t know boy, I don’t drink the stuff” replied Les! Les’s tipple appeared to be very milky tea, or maybe it was coffee (not in a mug as you might expect, but in a rather graceful white china cup and saucer). Les would take maybe one or two sips, and then the drink would sit on the bar. About an hour later the largely untouched drink would still 33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

Rochford12_programme_Rochford_programme05 09/11/2012 12:01 Page 7

be on the bar and was now covered by a skin resembling an oil slick. Mrs Les, seemingly on the hour throughout the day, would appear in the bar, remove the cold beverage and shortly reappear with a fresh drink, only for it to suffer the same fate. The look of disdain on her face implied that she had tried for years to correct Les’s habit but had given up all hope!

to arrive on a rather expensive bike. One evening the biker didn’t feel up to biking home so he asked Les if he could chain his bike to the tree. “Yes” said Les “it will be perfectly safe there”. Next day I walked into the pub and Les looked seriously glum.

“What’s up?” I said to Les. “The bike was stolen” said Les “and the thieves sawed the tree down”.

An interesting lunchtime food menu was available. Upon enquiry a customer would be told “Yes sir, or Yes, madam… rolls: cheese or ham.” The order was shouted up the stairs and, shortly, Mrs Les would appear with a freshly made filled roll. The customer was offered optional chutney, which stood on the bar in a large jar. It could have been homemade since there were no labels. A spatula, which appeared to have been specially selected to reach the farthest corners of the jar, sat beside it. My friends and I always enjoyed watching the application of the chutney to the inner parts of the roll since Les’s tongue followed exactly the movement of the spatula to and fro across the roll filling. It was always a synchronised spatula spreading exercise.

Sadly, Les became very ill and passed away.

I went to his funeral and was amazed, walking down Duke Street towards the cathedral, at the masses of people who were also going to the funeral. Apparently customers from the past who had moved away had travelled back to pay their last respects to a wonderful Essex character.

Graham Price

I was standing in the pub one day when two lively lads charged in. “Got any lager mate?” one said to Les. “Yes boy, go back out of the door, turn right, then left under the arches and then go into The Plough”.

There were several notable incidents in the pub, mostly treated with good humour. One balmy summer evening an old chap, worse for wear, decided to sleep on the bench in the back yard. Next morning he was still there, but no longer alive! After the body was removed a sign appeared on the bench saying “Please don’t fall asleep on this bench because it upsets the regulars”.

Also in the back yard was Les’s pride and joy, a lilac tree. It was a white flowered form, loaded with fragrance. Whenever it came into bloom Les had a vase of the cut flowers on the bar. Then a tragedy; a customer used 33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

South East Essex CAMRA Brewery News

BreweryVisit: Over 35 SE Essex CAMRA members enjoyed the very first tour of the brewery.

George’s Brewery and Hop Monster Brewing Company

George’s Brewery and its crazy experimental cousin, Hop Monster Brewing Company continue to thrive in Great Wakering. Mark Mawson’s popular beers are permanently featured at several pubs including the Plough & Sail, Paglesham; the Trout, Southend; and the Station Arms, Southminster.

After a very busy first year, Hop Monster was honoured to be asked to supply CAMRA’s flagship event: the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia, London. The beer CAMRA chose was Freak Show 6, made 8

with Columbus hops. It was very popular and sold out quickly. Freak Show is numbered according to which hop is used; have you tried the latest one?

The latest exciting news is the Off Sales Licence and the installation of a bottling plant. Now you can enjoy George’s and Hop Monster beers at home! For parties and special events, polypins in various sizes are also available to purchase from the brewery.

Freak Show at GBBF, Olympia

George’s Brewery is still growing and continues to supply local Festivals with beer and equipment. Cooling jackets and equipment are available for up to 30 casks.

For more information on beers, sales, cooling equipment and beer festival supplies please phone 07771 871255 or see www.hopmonster.co.uk 33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

Vens Brewing Company The brewery came into operation in October 2010, founded by Richard Venour.

Vens brewery is based in Rawreth, Essex, producing a range of fine ales. The beers can be found in pubs all over Essex and there is always at least one available at the Fox and Hounds pub, Ramsden Heath.

Vens have now expanded and have opened a shop in Hockley, Essex, which stocks fine ales from their own range and other microbreweries around Essex and beyond, as well as English wines and lagers, plus local ciders.

The latest addition to the shop is Home Brew supplies section.

Come and visit the shop at: Vens Real Ales, Hockley, Essex SS5 4QS 01702 205005 info@vensrealales.co.uk

Billericay Brewing Company

Foulness; Monk & Fisherman, Southend; Nelson, Westcliff; Cork & Cheese, Southend; the list goes on and on.

Many pubs have been converted to private housing and some have been demolished.

Those pubs that are still operating are finding things tougher than ever. Have a chat to John, landlord at the Golden Lion, if you want to hear about some of the issues facing pubs today.

How can you help?

Please

consider attending the Mass Parliamentary Lobby Day on December 12th.

If you aren’t already a member, please join CAMRA. Most importantly please keep supporting pubs!

5,800 pubs have closed since 2008.

Many pubs in the South East Essex branch area have closed in recent years: the Chequers, Canewdon; Esplanade, Southend; Duke of York, Billericay; Crown, Hadleigh; Old Ship, Rochford; George & Dragon, 33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

The National Beer Scoring Scheme : NBSS It is CAMRA policy for all CAMRA branches to use NBSS scores to assist in selecting pubs for the Good Beer Guide. The Good Beer Guide (GBG) is our showcase to the world – it demonstrates that we as a Campaign believe that excellent real ale is worth campaigning for. It plays a vital part in supporting our pubs because if you want to drink cask ale then the pub is the obvious option.

Every pub in the GBG should sell great beer all the time. The view of over one hundred thousand people is the key to that consistency and the National Beer Scoring Scheme is the tool to make that job as easy as possible.

If you drink real ale in a pub, and have ever thought about why it is or indeed why it isn’t in the GBG, then by scoring it you can make a difference.

Also, if you have anything to do with selecting pubs for the GBG you have a duty to listen to what over 140,000 fellow members are saying about your pubs. Beer scores can be entered at www.beerscoring.org.uk

What do the scores mean?

0. UNDRINKABLE. No cask ale available or so poor you have to take it back or can’t finish it.

1. POOR. Beer that is anything from barely drinkable to drinkable with considerable resentment.

2. AVERAGE. Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn't inspire in any way, not worth moving to another pub but you drink the beer without really noticing.

3. GOOD. Good beer in good form. You may cancel plans to move to the next pub. You want to stay for another pint and may seek out the beer again.

4. VERY GOOD. Beer in excellent condition.

5. PERFECT. Probably the best you are ever likely to find. A seasoned drinker will award this score very rarely.

When you first enter the database you will be asked to login. Your username is your CAMRA membership number. The password is the one you use to access the national website.

Cider and Perry You’ll notice some changes on the Cider and Perry Bar this year. I hope they don't detract from our primary aim of bringing you a range of high quality traditional real ciders and perries. There will be a few ciders and perries from producers who have never been at Rochford before, and we’ll have several who have not been seen for several years. We’ll have our usual local ciders from Buffoon's and Paglesham Punch, but we’ll also have some other Essex ciders, as well as some other East Anglian ciders.

All of the well known ‘industrial’ ciders are not recognised by CAMRA as ‘Real Traditional Cider or Perry’. Many people have rediscovered the delights of Traditional Cider and Perry and the rich world of flavours they offer to those sampling their delights.

Real Cider and Perry represent a tradition that has been enjoyed in Britain since Roman times. Whilst the methods of production have benefited from modernisation, the basics still stay the same. Pick the fruit, press the fruit, allow to ferment, then enjoy. This results in a product that is unpasteurised, un-carbonated and full of natural flavours.

CIDER LIST Blackmore Vale Blackmore Vale, Somerset Cider Brook Farm Wigmore, Herefordshire Cider Buffoon’s Canewdon, Essex Maggoty Cox Ribcracker Cam Valley Meldreth, Cambridgeshire Discovery (SV) Ida Red (SV) Carter’s Boxted, Essex Essex Cider 22

Cider and Perry can be any combination of mellow, aromatic, tangy, sharp, fruity, or tannic, as well as being sweet, medium or dry.

These are real flavours not masked by cold temperature or fizz! At this festival, not only do we bring you a wide range of ciders and perries from most cider producing areas, but also an expanding range from our own region.

Please be aware that traditional ciders and perries typically have higher alcohol content than most of the commercial cider you get in pubs or supermarkets, so please drink responsibly and enjoy your time at the festival.

Evening Buses Arriva and Stephensons of Essex operate from the bottom of the Freight House approach towards Ashingdon, Hockley and CAMRA LocAle promoting pubs that sell locally-brewed real ale, reducing the number of 'beer miles', and supporting local breweries.

The CAMRA LocAle scheme was created to promote pubs selling local beers. South East Essex CAMRA adopted the LocAle scheme to encourage pubs to serve at least one real ale brewed within a 30-mile radius.

A couple of reasons to choose LocAle • £10 spent on locally-made goods generates £25 for the local economy • Food and drink transport accounts for 25% of all UK HGV movement So, you can do your bit for the local economy, the environment and reducing road congestion, by drinking LocAle beers.

FESTIVAL CHARITY: “Life after a brain injury is a painful, stressful period for both the injured and their family.

There’s the hours spent in hospital waiting rooms, helplessly hoping for the best, while your loved one is mercifully oblivious to the emotional and financial stress that their accident has caused. There’s the painfully slow recovery, and the consistently vague diagnoses that reveal just how complex and unpredictable the human brain is. And if the victim of a brain injury is lucky enough to mend in time, there’s the frustration and uncertainty they themselves undergo; the large gaps in their memory that only become apparent when they are pushed to remember.

things that upset me the most. When that seemingly restored loved one needs reminding of a pivotal moment in their life, or voices an opinion that they themselves would have fiercely opposed pre-accident, and you realise that the person who played such an important role in your life may never completely return.”

For family and friends, it’s the period after the recovery that’s perhaps the toughest. When the signs of brain damage are hidden to all but those who knew the sufferer well. It’s the little

Headway Essex also has a Community Support Service.

The Community Support Team provides telephone support, information on different aspects of brain injury, support groups, training for carers, specialist literature on brain injury, home and hospital visits and educational talks. Over 290 families are supported across Essex.

Headway Essex cares for people who have acquired a brain injury; this may be through sporting or work accidents, road traffic accidents, assault, illness or disease. Support is given in two ways. Through the Headway Centre, which is a day centre where rehabilitation activities take place. These activities are designed to help people to rebuild their lives after brain injury. The centre has 72 places available each week.

Rehabilitation following acquired brain injury is a long-term process requiring active participation. Following discharge from acute care in hospital, life can be very problematic, both for the survivor and their families and friends.

The long-term disabilities may not correspond to the physical severity of the original injury, and can become apparent some time, even years, after the cause. A person can appear to make a good recovery but may be difficult to live with and become unemployable because of the above problems. The personality changes can be the most difficult for close family to accept and this puts a tremendous strain on many families and relationships. If you would like to talk to someone about any aspect of your brain injury or come along to one of Headway’s Support Groups please contact the Community Support Team on 01206 768797 or communitysupport@ headwayessex.org.uk 28

Headway Essex Headway Essex is an independently registered charity and relies on fundraising to sustain its services.

With your help…

Headway has grown from a North Essex based Charity to one covering the whole of the County. Every year we support over 290 families living with the effects of brain injury. A specialist training programme is in place to help carers with their role. An education programme is run in schools to help prevent brain injuries.

Support group meetings are available across the county. People with brain injury can access specialist care and support to help with their rehabilitation. People living with the effects of brain injury have someone to turn to.

Headway will continue to provide these vital services. Please consider supporting Headway Essex by placing your unused beer tokens in the box at the front desk. Thank you. www.headwayessex.org.uk

STITCH real name: Richard Howard Waite On Saturday 26th of May at around 5pm this year Stitch was involved in a motorcycle accident on Woodham Road, Stow Maries. He was flown by air ambulance to The Royal Hospital, Whitechapel where he was admitted to their Intensive Care Unit, initially in a controlled comatose state. Some weeks later he was moved to Southend General Hospital where he remained until mid October when he was transferred to the Uplands nursing home, Westcliff and is awaiting a transfer for a placement in a Neurological rehab unit.

Stitch had only just left the Prince of Wales when he had the accident, no other vehicles where involved, alcohol was not an issue and no one knows what happened, but for the customers of the “Prince” this was heartbreaking news. Daily blogs were posted on Facebook as to his condition; the Pub telephone became a hotline for friends call-

33rd South East Essex Beer Festival

ing in from all around the world who had just heard the news or didn’t have internet access.

Toasts to his recovery became the norm, usually with port or his favourite stout. The handful of regulars that were in his company that Saturday afternoon all started to believe that they should have stopped him getting on his motorbike or at the very least made him wear a decent crash helmet as opposed to the near vegetable colander that he loved to sport and was his pride and joy. As the weeks pass the phrase “Stitch would love this” has become the norm to anything that he would enjoy!

Food, Beer, Music, Banter etc.

Stitch was my Best Man; he is master mimicker, has a razor sharp wit, an encyclopaedic memory for film quotes. For me he is as much a part of the Prince of Wales as is Beer and Fireworks. I love him like a brother and I miss him every single day I just want his white Landrover parked in the corner of the car park and his big gleaming face to appear with his customary greeting of “All right”.

His pewter port goblet is in pride of place behind the bar. We hold him in our thoughts in every way possible.

In September we held a three day event “All things Stitch” incorporating some of the things he loves: Clay Pigeon Shoot, Cheese and Port, a day packed with local entertainers all friends of Stitch and each with their own story of him. We have had beers brewed in his name.

Burnham Ramblers under-14s Football team bear the words “STITCH” on their shirts this season even though Stitch hates football! but he enjoys a wind-up!

Every sweepstake we hold Stitch gets a ticket and everyone wants to know “Who did Stitch get?”

We have just had our 22nd Fireworks Display, but the first without Stitch, so we had an additional beer tent for regulars dedicated to Stitch, the theme of the whole event was the Good the Bad and the Ugly; this is Stitch’s ringtone and I even managed to misspell his name on the wristbands to Stitich! “Stitch would love this!”

STITCH - KEEP POSITIVE - KEEP HIM IN YOUR THOUGHTS! 29
