For those of you who may not have yet heard, Kieron Drum, a much-loved branch member, CAMRA activist and friend, was tragically found dead at his house yesterday (Tuesday).

We will all miss him, his ready laugh and his huge enthusiasm for life in everything he did. I believe he had no immediate family except his sister, and our thoughts are with her at this sad time.

Tonight’s Branch Meeting will go ahead as planned, but we hope to have a brief curtailed meeting with just the bare elements of the agenda, as a mark of respect.

Gerry Keay [Branch Chairman]
