Alright our kids- This will be a concise and sensible email with marginally less rambling than usual- It will of course be entirely factual with no irrelevance or irreverence whatsoever. You have been warned.

Entry is free, Parking is free and camping is £6 per pitch per night. Films are screened at dusk (which is normally about 9pm) on a 10×5m inflatable screen. Whilst the first couple of movies might not be suitable for everyone- I’m trying to make it a bit more of a family affair during the day…Everyone is welcome
(unless of course you’re an idiot)
The Great British Pub Awards 2010
We have been voted Best Tennanted/Leased Pub in the East & West Midlands according to The Morning Advertiser’s Great British Pub Awards 2010. Pickings were obviously slim this year and the finals are held at The Park Lane Hilton on September 9th where tickets are £220 each- I’ll see you there…not.
Tractorspotting
That tractor that I mentioned a million years ago is finished and is in the garden- I think it’s brilliant!! And, No, it doesn’t run!
Goodbye, hello
We wish a fond farewell to Sandra Allan (Taggart) the Scottish lady who you all accused of being my other half. She wasn’t and now she’s gone.
In her place we welcome two new guys:
Ian Chambers & Mark ‘Smurf’ Docker- Ian is very local (Like a redneck only smarter) and is part of the family that supplies a lot of our local produce and Smurf is, well, Smurf, really. Your lives will never be quite the same again. That’s a promise
Anyway I’m hoping that many of you will come and say hello at the beer festival- please spread the word- It’s only a couple of weeks away. You can follow me on Twitter- Lionhunningham or join our facebook page
Many thanks my lushious lovelies
