Ashfield U3A Real Ale Group













The inaugural meeting of the Real Ale Group was held on Thursday 26th March, 2009 at 20:00 at The Little John, Ravenshead. Members decided on a programme of events and sampled several real ales.


The aims of the group are to sample real ales at various local hostelries, sample bottled ales at each other's homes, visit micro breweries and perhaps even to take a hand at mashing beers.


If you wish to join this group or would like more details, please contact the co-ordinator, Ron Britton, on 01623-456855 or email Ron from the Committee page of this site.
