Congratulations to editor Matt Bullock and everyone else who surveyed pubs or otherwise assisted with the recent Oxford Witney and Abingdon Pub Guide. We are delighted to pass on the news that the book was joint winner of the local guide of the year award, announced at the CAMRA national AGM yesterday! Well done Matt!

To purchase a copy of the Guide, send a cheque made payable to "Oxford CAMRA" for £5.99 (includes P&P) to: Oxford CAMRA Pub Guide, Blenheim Cottage, The Slade, Charlbury OX7 3SJ. The book can also be purchased from CAMRA's online shop, or from local booksellers including Waterstone's and Blackwell's.

We are pleased to announce that Far From the Madding Crowd has been voted Oxford CAMRA City Pub of the Year 2011. The award certificate was presented at a social held at the pub on Thursday 9th February - congratulations to publicans Dave and Lauren, their staff, and loyal customers. Thanks very much for your hospitality!

26th November

At lunchtime on Saturday 26th November the branch presented its Town and Village Pub of the Year 2011 award to the Cricketer's Arms in Littleworth. The beers on tap included the winners of "Beer of the Festival" from the two festivals that the pub has run this year: Patriot Kiwi and Compass Baltic Night Stout. It was a splended day out - congratulations to Stuart and Angie, and thanks very much for your hospitality!

Updated the Beer Festival page - if anyone wants to get a feel for some of the work that goes into preparing for the beer festival, have a look at the time-lapse video that Lawrence Harman shot during the two days of set-up!
