We’re having another Bus Cruise on June 10, taking in various Hampshire pubs including the Hawkley Inn. More details of the Bus Cruise, including pickup times, can be found here.
Unfortunately it clashes with England v Paraguay, so some sort of portable radio might seem to be in order — we can’t guarantee that the pubs will be showing the match!
The Three Moles, Selham is having another beer festival from June 16–18. The chances are excellent that various branch members will be in attendance throughout the weekend :)

| 20:45 | – | 23:45 |
Beer Festival wash-up meeting, Maypole, Yapton, at 8:45. (No actual washing-up involved!)
On a more cheering note, the results are in for the Beer of the Festival vote:
Joint 3rd: *Milestone* Harry Porter & *Oakham* Bishop's Farewell<br />
2nd: *Dark Star* APA
and the winner is: Millstone True Grit.
Another one bites the dust — Young’s is to close its brewery in Wandsworth (the site is believed to be worth up to £100m) and merge with Charles Wells. The resulting company will be known as Wells & Young’s Brewing Company Ltd.
Another bit of brewing history down the toilet. Will the beers still taste the same? Will the bottled range be as extensive? (And what will happen to all the horses, come to that?)
