This year's Bishop Auckland Food Festival features a new beer and wine festival, in association with Durham CAMRA. The festival, which runs from Friday the 19th of April to Sunday the 21st of April, will feature 60 beers from across the North East, Cumbria and Yorkshire, along with beer tastings and food-matching talks.

More information can be found on the Bishop Auckland Food Festival page.

The recent edition of Durham Drinker listed the date of the branch's Annual General Meeting as April 9th. This date has now been changed to April 16th. The venue is still the Ship Inn, Middlestone Village. There will be a bus available from Durham to this event - to book a place, please contact the Social Secretary.

If you know people who are planning on attending and who don't use the website, please could you pass on this information.
