Chesterfield and District CAMRA

CHESTERFIELD CAMRA CELEBRATES 30 YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING
From: InnSpire - Issue 68 – August 2007

Three decades of local devotion to Real Ale were marked on July 18th – 30 years to the day since the inaugural Branch meeting at the Unicorn in Chesterfield – with a celebration evening in the Arkwright Arms at Sutton-cum-Duckmanton, one of Chesterfield Branch’s flagship pubs for many a year.

Branch Chairman, Rhoda Waygood, and Vice-Chairman, Andy Thackeray, are pictured holding the special birthday cake, which was washed down with special beers brewed by three of our area’s microbreweries: Ashover Tri-Decade, Spire Inn-Spiration and Townes Innspired Ale.

The current Summer Pub of the Season is run by John Chadwick & Kathy Shorrock, and was therefore an appropriate venue as our regular readers will acknowledge.

Here’s to the next 30 years!
