June
1st marked the end of our (now extended) 8 week beer festival and the
votes for which ale to make our new regular were duly counted. Spingo
Special and Doom Bar beat London Pride
by one vote to come first place, but as all these ales were already weekly
regulars, the fourth most popular ale, Highgate Irish Whiskey
Ale has become our 10th weekly regular. Shane O'Carroll's voting
slip was randomly selected from the stack of Spingo Special and Doom Bar
votes and we were pleased to inform him that he had won a gallon of it.

PLYMOUTH
CRICKET CLUB'S PLIGHT
Plymouth
Cricket Club's ground - which is also the home of the Fortescue
Cricket Club - is on council owned land in Central Park. The council
leased the land to Plymouth Sports Centre, a firm run by Argyle
chairman Paul Stapleton, in 2004. Now the cricket club has been
told to quit. Plymouth Cricket Club, however, feel they have a very
strong case for ownership of the land as they have used the ground
for over 80 years. The club needs to raise £20,000 to defend
this right in court in late summer 2008.
