Introduction
First off, you're bad, bad people . . . for the St George's Beer Festival, you voted for all strong beers and all strong beers
you got, so don't complain when you get pissed really quickly . . . you wanted, I just supplied!
Anyway the beer festival was a blast; we managed to convert a couple of lager drinkers in the process;
some taking their ale experience a little too far . . . Carl,
some of you had balancing issues . . . Paul,
and some of you need to leave the pub just that little bit earlier . . . Stuart!
April on the whole was mad. It was great seeing our regular students back and it was great saying goodbye again (just joking with you).
Myself and the staff were on the verge of banning Easter next year but we've all managed to get a little break, and so weve decided you
can have it back!
Hopefully you guys should be reading this after weve beaten Saracens at Kingsholm and plans will be underway to get ourselves to Twickenham
for the final against Leicester. Its been four years since Glos was on the Hallowed Ground. (For all of you that support the round ball game . . .
it will never take off, rugby is the only true sport!)
Apologies but both the "Wine Tasting" and "Meet the Brewer" nights are now sold out, but don't fret,
something else will, arrive on the horizon very soon. A word to the wise - these events do get sold out very quickly, so if you were disappointed
this time, try to book your place as soon as you see it advertised.
The heaters are finally fixed after six months, just in time for the summer! That's really handy! Trust me when I say I was more than a lttle angry.
Quick congratulations to the guys; Tom and Chris for passing their, First Aid, Health and Safety, and their Food Hygiene . . . well done boys!

A Reminder . . .
This year Vale Vision is intending holding its first Dursley Beer Festival.
The idea is to promote Dursley to a wider audience by hold a "Celebration
of Food and Ale on the Cotswold Way". It's intended to have lots of events
based on what's great about our part of the Cotswolds with lots of walks
and celebration over the weekend of the 26th May 2006 (Bank Holiday Weekend).
To make this work, we need people to get involved on all levels from security
to helping set up stalls and power systems. Please contact Shirley at Vale
Vision for more details.
