Several committee members (Graeme Jones, Angela Aspin, Charles Miller, Martyn Anderson and David Halliwell) attended CAMRA 2009 to research and discuss requirements, plans and issues for the CAMRA 2010 national conference (1st international in fact!) in the Isle of Man.
The Department of Tourism and Leisure and travel agent stand was overwhelmed with enquiries and ran out of all brochures and leaflets halfway through the conference!

Last night, the branch presented the delighted landlord Neil at the Whitehouse in Peel (voted #1) with a framed certificate. Neil recalled an early beer festival with a marquee in the car park and stillage in the outbuildings – he was up all night in a force 10 storm to keep hitting the tent pegs back into the ground and needed a beer by daylight! Undaunted, he recently celebrated a 1000 real ales landmark in March 2008.
A photographer from Isle of Man Newspapers and a reporter from the Peel City Guardian attended the event so look out for more details in the local media.
