Any good pubs in Blackpool

Dunno about Blackpool but 'The Taps' in Lytham is OK. Not a million miles away..........

Lytham or Fleetwood! Blackpool's a bit of a wasteland. The CAMRA AGM is being held there next year...I can hardly wait.

try the Saddle, or the Shovels

Yeah, here's hoping the beerex is extremely well stocked. An article for the local newspapers perhaps - you know a "we're coming to use it as a conference venue but we need to bring our own beer cos this place is a beer desert." that type of thing?

I think you'll find the organisers realise that this is very important.

On the bright side, I don't mind spending a weekend at a beer festival!

I'd have said a bit of campaigning was very important, hence the comment about a newspaper article pointing out that we needed to organise our own beer as the local availability was naff.

Great British Beer Festival part-timer eh? :-)

Hey, some of us run more than one beer festival year you know :-)

Well, since sorting out things for the Great British Beer Festival only occupies about 70% of our weekends and I only work on call one week in six I suppose I could fit something extra in.

Hi

the Pump and Truncheon, 13 Bonny Street, in a back street near the tower serves a good pint and you could try the Ramsden Arms, which is more or less outside Blackpool North Railway Station.

otherwise good luck!

cheers
