[QUOTE=Pete Truman;1380748] At least they had Batemans Bitter in the beer tent on the day, I bet that soon sold out.

Ahh, “Bateman’s Good Honest Ales”. I recall being with a chartered trainload of beer monsters “up from town” on foggy and drizzly day in Feb some 15 years ago, greeted on Wainfleet’s single platform by a Jazz band and Mr George, (the Head Brewer) in top hat and tails….what a bizarre sight. But a great visit, including quaffing in the Windmill-cum-brewery tap.

Sorry, way off thread, but that sparked a pleasant memory!
