APPLETON Thorn Village Hall has picked up another clutch of awards from CAMRA – the Campaign for Real Ale.
Landlord Derek Massey, wife Allison and son Chris have been presented with this years CAMRA National Club of the Year award, regional Cider Club of the Year and Cider and Perry Club of the year and last year’s Regional Club of the year.
They can add these awards to the National Club of the Year 2008 and the Regional Club of the Year and Branch Club of the Year awards in 2006 and 2007.
Derek joked: “I think this justifies an extension to the building as there isn’t enough wall space left to display these additional certificates.”
Appleton Thorn Village Hall opened in 1980 after local fundraising enable the village to purchase the old village school.
Derek, Allison and Chris are pictured with the awards.
