Now, all the major cleanup is done, and the last of the glasses are washed, crates and buckets all collected from the brewery, rinsed and dried. I'll start on getting the medals all packaged up and see if I can get them mailed out. Hopefully, this week.

Our best-of-show prize this year was sponsored by @MuntonsPlc , a whopping £500 voucher for the winner's choice of online brewing supplier. Charles has let me know his choice, and there is a £500 @themaltmiller gift voucher winging its way over to Charles Read!
