While I think on, some disappointing news about Bury Beer Festival - it's cancelled this year. The local branch of CAMRA weren't able to get enough volunteers to fill the key roles for actually organising it. All very unfortunate, and possibly an indication of the fate that may befall other festivals if we don't get more, younger people involved in organising them.
As far as I'm aware, they are hoping to run a festival in Bury again next year.
