Well, here we are at the start of a new decade.

There's a lot happening over the next couple of months in and around our region. Check out the Branch Diary and Events calendar for what, where and when.

First of all, a reminder that the countdown for the Pendle Beer Festival 2020 has begun, only 30 days to go. Are you coming along? Have you registered to volunteer yet? Visit www.pendlebeerfestival.co.uk for all the information you'll need, and keep up to date on social media, links are in the left hand menu.

The Branch AGM is coming up in February, and there are several committee and branch roles vacant, or will be by the AGM, and more volunteer's are always needed. Have a look at the various positions on the Branch Contact page, where there is information of how to look at getting more active in the branch.

We would like to thank you as ever for your continued support in whatever you do for the East Lancs branch and CAMRA nationally. Be it holding a committee or branch role, beer scoring through WhatPub or on the GBG app, or by simply visiting the pubs and clubs of the East Lancs area and beyond, supporting them in the ever changing drinkers and social environment we live in.

And remember as it's a leap year, we all have an extra day to enjoy a tipple of two, Cheers!
