Friday night is still live music night. CONYER: Ship Inn. Planned to re-open in early December. See article on page 43. DODDINGTON: Chequers, Bob and Karen now run this pub, with Shepherd Neame Master Brew Bitter and Late Red. Bob has been there since May, initially as a Manager. He used to run the Cromwell‟s Wine and Bistro Bar, previously Judd‟s Folly, once known as the Bates Bar, at Syndale Motel, Faversham. Food daily, except Monday. GRAVENEY: Four Horseshoes sells Bass and Charles Wells Bombardier. FAVERSHAM: Bear. The lease for this pub is available and in the interim period Dave Cook is still running it, as well as the Chimney Boy. FAVERSHAM: Chimney Boy. Dave has started the redecoration and has reintroduced meals. It‟s also had its first beer from the Shepherd Neame pilot brewery. FAVERSHAM: Leading Light. This Wetherspoons pub has a beer festival from 27 October to 14 November. At other times it heavily features small East Kent breweries. FAVERSHAM: Phoenix didn‟t win Newcomer of the Year award in the Morning Advertiser Pub Awards, but congratulations nevertheless on being a finalist. David has many things going on with Quiz nights, Jazz Jamming, Poets Club, Story Club, Comedy nights, Vinyl and 78 night, Jamming Piano sessions, Irish music night, and Acoustic night.

STAPLE STREET, Three Horseshoes. Our best wishes to Mike and Vera Skipper who have retired.

Only found in pubs (at least 90% of the print), Tourist Offices, and Kent Beer Festivals. It‟s free, taken home, and passed on. It‟s local, it‟s printed on gloss paper for a superb finish. It‟s dead cheap, just £20 for a half page (landscape only), and £35 for a full page. Suitable for pubs, breweries, businesses, clubs, hotels, taxis, and those who want to promote their goods and services in local pubs. Initial print run: 700, likely to increase. Published: quarterly. Next copy date: circa 1st February 2011, although submissions before then would be greatly appreciated. Contact Swale Ale, Forge House, Church Road, Oare, Faversham, Short measures and what to do about it The law says that when you order a pint of beer, that is exactly what you should get. If you‟re served short, then ask for your glass to be filled to the correct measure. It should be done with good grace. Naturally, it is important that it is requested politely. However, if satisfaction is not forthcoming you should report it to: Trading Standards, Kent County Council, County Hall, Maidstone, ME14 1XQ. Tel: 08458 247247. Winter Issue 2010/11 7 8 Winter Issue 2010/11 International Crawl No 3 Moeder Lambic, Brussels Not a crawl in one sense but definitely in another, Moeder Lambic is a new concept in Belgium. It‟s a bar that showcases an incredibly large amount of draught beers from all around the country, so without leaving your seat you can visit, in taste terms, all the small isolated breweries you never expected to ever get to.

    Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Front cover: Detail of stained glass window in the Millennium Brewhouse, Shepherd Neame Brewery, Faversham, Kent. Design, showing elements of the brewing process, by Keith and Judy Hill of Staplehurst. Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment The Brewing Industry A report by the Brewery History Society for English Heritage February 2010 Text by Lynn Pearson Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006).

  • Draught Copy
    Free Newsletter Draught for the Maidstone & Mid-Kent, Gravesend & Darent Valley and Bexley areas of Kent Copy Spring 2015 No. 178 DRAUGHT COPY—LOOKING BACK As we go to press on this, edition 178 of Draught Copy, I took a look back at the very first issue I ever became involved with exactly nine years ago. I joined as typesetter, the man who puts together the printed publication, a job I still do, despite being editor as well now. In 2006 we ran to 32 pages per issue, and now we are 50 percent thicker at 48 pages. But the price has remained the same! What impresses me most, though, is the brewery roll-call in Kent. In edition 142 our county had just ten breweries listed here: Goachers, Hopdaemon, Larkins, Millis, Nelson, Ramsgate, Shepherd Neame, Swan, Westerham and Whitstable. All ten are still going strong, but have been joined by twenty more. We have said goodbye to Black Cat, which has moved to East Sussex, and are welcoming the tiny microbrewery of the Isla Vale Alesmiths, who are now making a name for themselves in the pubs of Thanet. And I mean tiny, too, just one half barrel per brew. Looking forward, it would seem this burgeoning trend of new breweries is set to continue. I wish we could say the same of pubs, which are in fact diminishing at the rate of 31 closures a week! CAMRA has an urgent and active campaign—Pubs Matter—with its own website, www.pubsmatter.org.uk. I would urge readers to visit this site, take a look at page 10 here, and give this campaign all the support you can.

At the time of writing this history of the Isle of Thanet Geographical Association, the Branch had an ageing membership and it was believed that now was the time to produce such a dissertation on the Branch activities throughout the six decades of its existence. Derek Wilson, as secretary of the Branch, was the custodian of the Branch Archives and compiled all the information for this history which was derived from the available committee meeting minutes, membership cards and leaflets and flyers advertising the lecture meetings throughout the 6 decades; also, further information was obtained from members’ diaries and through verbal communication and newspaper clippings. Although there was some information missing in the archives, this is, nevertheless, a comprehensive history of the Branch. Derek Wilson, FTSC, BSc, LRSC Hon Secretary, Isle of Thanet Geographical Association May 2016 3 Introduction and Background The Royal Geographical Society of London was founded in 1830 as an institution to promote the advancement of geographical science. Like many learned societies at the time in pursuit of knowledge, it started as a dining club in London, where select members held informal dinner debates on current scientific issues and ideas.
