Preparations: the rush to the bar to make sure glasses are charged and the sumptuous buffet the hotel put on for us.

Branch secretary Stan Thompson (right) hands over our certificate to the proprietor Tim Gay with Janah looking on.

Local branch member Richard Coates speaks on CAMRAs rise from four men unhappy with the beer on offer 40 years ago to the 130,000 member organisation that it is today.

Two post-presentation photos of Tim and Janah with their certificate and with Riahard Coates.

A more artistic photo than usual of the certificate on the bar with a pint of Claverhouse being pulled in the background.
