drunk dry all the extra back-up beer that was ordered for the event.
A much higher than anticipated attendance of 11,400 drunk a whopping total of 36,000 pints of beer and
4,456 pints of cider and perry. Organisers had expected that after the National Winter Ales Festival moved
from Derby to Norwich this year there would be a big downturn in attendance but this simply wasnt the
case as they still came out in the droves and by all
accounts thoroughly enjoyed the Festival.
As well as a great selection of beers to choose from
a top class line-up of Entertainment proved a big
draw as none other than Tom Hingley, seminal
singer with Inspiral Carpets brought his own tribute
to that very band to grace the stage on the Friday
night. The event also saw an incredible 243 new

any Derby Festival.
All in all the Derby Winter Ale Festival exceeded all
expectations and Organisers have promised it will

Pub News
We are pleased to report that the Yew Tree at
Ednaston has reopened in late March after being
closed since New Year's Day. We don't have detailed
information about the new regime, but hope that it
will return to the vibrancy that it had gained in the
year prior to closure.
Both The Horns and The Coach & Horses in
Ashbourne have again undergone management
changes in late March/early April, after short tenures
from the previous operators.
The Bridge in Ashbourne has just completed a
external spruce-up and looks very smart once again.
Branch News
During our March meeting at the Bowling Green, we The Yew Tree, Ednaston
welcomed Steve Barton, chairman of our
neighbouring sub-branch in the Staffordshire
Moorlands. Discussions were held to outline proposals
to work closely together, along with the Uttoxeter
sub-branch, on ventures such as a planned joint social
event to be held in the summer and to co-operate in
promoting events within each sub-branch such as our
respective beer festivals. Details and plans will be
circulated to all members in the three branches as
soon as we have worked them out. Any comments or
suggestions would be most welcome, initially
directed through the email address at the top of this
page.
Apologies are due to any inconvenience caused by
the late venue switch for our March meeting. We have
re-planned the original venue for a later meeting.
