Welcome

Beerex Dongle issue! Two weeks today until Dorchester Beerex doors open to the public. The next issue of Giant Dongle is published today to coincide with our next festival. Lots more beery articles inside for your interest! Dated 20/1/12.

Beerex sessions nearly all sold-out! Tickets for all sessions are sold out apart from a very few for the Friday lunchtime. All outlets have reported rapid sales, so there will be no tickets at the door for any session. Dated 11/1/12.

Beerex Friday sell-out record! Friday evening Beerex tickets have sold-out already. All of our outlets and on-line sales have no tickets left for this session. This is a record as tickets were only released for sale last Friday, so in effect they have all been sold over the one weekend!! Tickets for the other sessions are selling strongly, so it looks like the whole festival will be Sold Out long before opening day. Dated 20/12/11.

		Beerex Ticket launch tomorrow! This year there is a formal release date for Beerex tickets, they go on sale tomorrow, Friday 16th. Those of you who are regular visitors will remember that last years close management of tickets resulted in a very enjoyable festival with less overcrowding.
This of course comes with its own "health warning" - there is a limited supply of tickets, so best to get yours early. I've already got a backlog of about 25 orders to supply once I get my stock of tickets, so they will sell fast! "Click the pic" for our ticket sales page. Dated 15/12/11.

Buy your Beerex T-shirt or Polo shirt in advance: For the first time you can pre-order your festival shirt - "Click the pic" for details provided by Adrian... Dated 15/12/11.

		An early Xmas Dongle! Thanks to an excellent turn-round by our printers (Weyprint of Weymouth) we're able to bring the Dongle out a bit early this year. So tuck in to these festive 20 pages and enjoy a good read by the fireside in which ever pub you find yourself. We in the local branch of CAMRA want to thank all who have helped to bring this Newsletter along over the last fifteen months or so,
particularly Kevin, our editor, who works tirelessly to bring you a magazine five times each year. Thanks also to all those who contribute stories and articles issue by issue. Dated 1/12/11.

		Colliton Club among top four in UK! For the sixth time in ten years, Dorchester's Colliton Club has been chosen as the CAMRA Wessex Regions Club of the Year. Chosen by local members of CAMRA as the West Dorset Club of the year, the club was then judged against other clubs in the Wessex Region
(Dorset, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands and parts of Wiltshire & Somerset). It will now go forward to be judged against three other clubs for the national title! Read Michel's report with photos here. Dated 21/11/11.

150 up at the Royal Standard! The pub which reopened only 20 months ago is this week going to sell it's 150th guest real ale. This is a big mile stone for a small village pub. There will be a celebration on Friday 18th November with the local 'Baking Birds' making a cake to help things along. Dated 17/11/11.

Welcome to the website of the West Dorset Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale. The Branch is run by a committed group of volunteers who are passionate about pubs, traditional ales, ciders & perries. As part of CAMRA we aim to maintain consumer rights and to promote quality, choice and value.
