  • Beer Matters This Issue
    Sheffield award winners announced In the announcements of the winners of two pub competitions recently it has been reconfirmed that there are good things going on with pubs in Sheffield. The first was the National Pub Design awards, which is run in conjunction with English Heritage and the Victorian Society, with the Sheffield Tap being named the best conversion to pub use. Many years ago this Edwardian gem served as refreshment rooms and waiting facilities to train passengers, now restored to a high standard and operating as the Sheffield Tap pub, a specialist beer bar showcasing real ales and other craft beers from around the world both on tap and bottle. In doing so they have not only created a good place to drink but also saved a little bit of Sheffield’s railway and architectural heritage. Continues on page 4... INSIDE BEER MATTERS THIS ISSUE... Cider making the lazy way... Tramlines Blues and Ale trail update Sheffield University Real Ale Society plus all your local Pub, Club, Beer Festival and Brewery news! 2 3 More award winning pubs for Sheffield! Continued from the front cover. The judges comment on the Sheffield Tap: ‘Since 1976 this fine, listed interior had been left by successive railway companies to decay; as a result, the woodwork rotted away and the superb plaster ceiling finally succumbed to unchecked water leaks. In 2008, though, restoration of this fine interior finally began under the auspices of East Midlands Trains and with generous funding assistance from The Railway Heritage Trust. Craftsmen Jamie Hawksworth, Jon Holdsworth and their team worked hard to recapture the Edwardian feel of the room.

  • Report to Portsmouth Events Safety Advisory Group
    Report to Portsmouth Events Safety Advisory Group Dr Adam Holland (Public Health Registrar) and Dr Jason Horsley (Director of Public Health for Southampton City Council and Portsmouth City Council) Purpose - To outline the key findings from research on drug related harm at music festivals. Background to report - This report explores the harms arising from drug use at music festivals and the interventions available that may mitigate these harms to assist the Safety Advisory Group (SAG) in its advisory role. For the purposes of this report a music festival is defined as a large, fenced, ticketed event organised primarily for attendees to see musical artists. A broad literature review was performed of documents related to drug use and harm reduction at music events; semi-structured interviews were performed with nineteen stakeholders involved in event planning, licensing, policing and the provision of medical, welfare and drug testing services; and time was spent observing welfare and drug testing services at two festivals. General points - Data on the prevalence of drug use at festivals is limited but suggest that it can be widespread and normalised. Prevalence is associated with various factors but is not reliably predictable. The harm reduction paradigm identifies that despite advice on the harms of drug use, many people will continue to use drugs. It will never be safe to use drugs but there are measures that can be taken to mitigate some of the risks involved, and that we can improve health outcomes overall by adopting these measures. Measures recommended or adopted need to be proportional to the risk posed by events.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Recommended Festivals Budget festivals, Festivals abroad & Bizarre festivals By Sam Briggs, Music Editor (2011/12) Wednesday 22 June 2011 Budget Festivals Spent all your student loan celebrating the end of term? Admittedly, a combination of rising ticket costs and over-priced alcohol make festivals an intimidating option for the cash-strapped student. However, the spread of festivals popping up around the country as an alternative to the established big names mean this does not have to be the case. Field Day, on the 6th August, takes over London’s Victoria Park to provide a showcase of the best in alternative electronic and guitar music over five stages for under £40. With Wild Beasts and The Horrors spearheading the festival’s guitar based offering, whilst James Blake and Mount Kimbie feature in the overwhelming choice for electronic fans, the festival offers a broad selection of music for different tastes. From the 22nd-24th July, Tramlines festival will take over the busy city of Sheffield. With an estimated 175,000 attendees, with venues all over town supporting the four main stages, and over 200 bands coming to the city, the atmosphere is likely to prove an excellent match for the calibre of the lineup. Alongside local bands the Crookes and Hey Sholay, bigger names such as the Futureheads, Los Campesinos and Guillemots will also be performing. And the best bit of it all – it’s completely free. On the same weekend, there is also independent Truck festival comes to Oxfordshire, bringing a folky line up featuring Graham Coxon and John Grant.
