Hope Floats @ Blyton

[John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO]

The "Hope Floats" liquid raffle will be a Blyton thanks to David Richings.

 

There are 2 small barrels of beer from the Ramsbottom Brerwery (not Daves house)

 

It will be £2.50 a raffle ticket or £1.50 for half a ticket ;-) and you can try an win a container of liquid.... (so please bring suitable containers with you)

 

All profits to the Hope charity

 

 

 

As Meeting Secratary; we would like to raise as much money as we can for the HOPE against Cancer charity but also remember motorsport is dangerous and please drink (if you win) responsibly.

 

Cheers Panda

Pending Irwell Works Brewery hiccups prior to collection - the 2 Half Barrels are...

Copper Plate Bitter 3.8%abv

A traditional northern bitter copper coloured with a sharp bitterness and a full and complex flavour. An excellent session bitter that retains its flavour pint after pint

Richard Mason 1888 4.0%abv

Richard Mason, Coppersmith built Irwell Works in 1888. Brewed in the modern style of English Pale Ale this mid-strength single hopped beer has a mild bitterness and pleasantly mildly hopped aftertaste

Edit: They are now sat at mine tempting me! :-D

Now we need plenty of members to buy 'winning' raffle tickets @Blyton to raise money for a good cause....

Hope Against Cancer

Thought I'd better give an update....

Unfortunately not enough members partook of a couple of beers, especially some that weren't competing!

The first half barrel was drunk dry and the profit towards Hope Against Cancer of £20.50 The 2nd half barrel was still around 2/3rd full, so I've tasked a mate with gaining funds to help the cause at his Caving Club meet this coming weekend.

I'll update on here as soon as I have a total donation, and forward the final funds raised to Delboy

Good work!

Me and Steve sampled it and were well pleased

[Shaggydoo]

I had a few..... I think? :-)

[Onliest Smeg David]

I had a few..... I think? :-)

Didn't you drink most of the first barrel,

then none of the second!

[Onliest Smeg David]

Update barrel 2....

Well my mate did ok with what was left despite not all being sold as by the Saturday eve it had gone off.

We were aiming for a net gain for the cause of £30, but in the end we made £36.50 :yes:

Anyway.... I'll add in a bit extra in to make up the donation to £40
