DnAuK Â Â 10 #3 Posted January 9, 2015 26th, 27th, 28th Feb I believe. I've already booked Friday off work. Â Where did you find this information mate? I'm with the OP and couldn't find any info so I asked a guy I know from Sheffield CAMRA if he had heard anything and he claims there were issues last year and if it goes ahead this year it will be later in the year.

haddy   10 #4 Posted January 9, 2015 That's my issue I need to book the day off but can't find the date anywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
shuispoo   10 #5 Posted January 9, 2015 Not sure if it is happening as they usually send out a Christmas card to volunteers (of which I am one) and they did not send them out, I have tried contacting the email at Magna but no reply and that was before Christmas. Hopefully later this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy C Â Â 86 #6 Posted January 9, 2015 as far as I am aware it has been postponed to later in the year and the new dates aren't yet announced. Â Talks still ongoing with Magna Trust regarding the venue hire and accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â Does anyone know the reason for the postponement? Â Very interesting. On the surface of it you would think this was it wouldn't you? Yes it makes no mention of it lasting more than the one day and nothing on the Rotherham CAMRA or Magna sites further substantiate this. Personally I'd be more tempted to go with Andy's knowledge.

Personally I'd be more tempted to go with Andy's knowledge.  There may of course be further developments since I spoke to the organiser last month!  Anyway, other festivals coming up  - THIS WEEKEND - Rotherham CAMRA New York beer festival  later in January is Manchester beer and cider festival February - National Winter Ales Festival in Derby and Winding Wheel festival in Chesterfield March - SIBA BeerX in Sheffield April - Doncaster beer festival May - Barrow Hill Rail Ale Festival Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
