[F] Bedford Beer Fest. Report and Quote file

[Barry R]

On the whole there is not much to report for the festival.

Attendees

Gid, Suzi, Barry R, Russell, Thomas, Dave "The Lard Man" Laird, (his
first ever meet), and Julia Harris (not Jones ;) )

Gid, Suzi, and YHN arrived at about a quarter to seven (to words of
congratulations on our choice of T-shirts), and hired our glasses.
Gid directed Suzi and YHN towards the first of the beers he could
recommend, and drinking began.

After this it becomes rather repetitive, ala
Drink, try next, start again.

that is until YHN and Suzi found the Sweet Perry, and settled down
to enjoy a really lovely drink.

Russell arrived at about half seven, Thomas about ten minutes after
that, and Dave not longer after Thomas. Big Jules arriving shortly
after ten.

We were joined temporarily by one of the people serving drinks when
he saw the abundance of Pratchett T-shirts, and also drew the
comment from another "Is there a Pratchett convention in town?"

Some people adjourned for some food (sausages-inna-bun, chicken, or
jacket spuds), while the rest stayed downstairs to enjoy the beer.

Dave left after a few hours, after being hugged, Thomas shortly
afterwards, and the rest of us drank until last orders. All departed
with hugs (and strange looks from some of the other festival Go-
ers), and made our way back to our homes/crashspaces.
