It is with a heavy heart that I have to report the unexpected death of a long-time CAMRA stalwart, Cllr Marcus Sims, who for many years, was the face behind the lens and the man behind the bar at Peterborough Beer Festival. A friendly chap, who was always willing to help out, has been taken too early. We'll miss you, Marcus.

A free minibus is being provided to our next branch meeting on Monday 3rd April at the Admiral Wells, Holme. The minibus departs from the Brewery Tap at 7.30pm and will return by 11pm. Please book places through Social Secretary John Hunt.
