LOST & FOUND:

Friday cloakroom mix up:

Would the holder of orange cloakroom ticket 221 please contact us as your waterproof jacket is still at BAC.

The earlier report on this website that the jacket belonging to ticket holder 227 had been found is unfortunately incorrect. It was another lost coat that had been found by its owner, not this one.

It seems that the holder of ticket 221 may have received the one belonging to ticket holder 227 by mistake.

The missing jacket is a Black Medium Berghaus waterproof jacket with Black Berghaus fleece zipped inside. The pockets contain a pair of blue Thinsulate gloves, a knitted hat, headphones and custom ACS moulded headphones.

If you have this jacket, would you please arrange with us to reunite it with its owner, Ian Wood. Please email info@batterseabeerfestival.org.uk and we will organise its safe return.

Thank you.

Notebook Found in Main Hall:

The 'wilko handy jotter' notebook found during the final clear-up on Saturday morning has not yet been claimed.

It contains notes on the Wallington Beer Festival and notes on lots of beers.

If it's yours please contact Martin Butler with your details and he will arrange its safe return: martin.butler@camraswl.org.uk.

Charity:

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home

We continue our support for the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and they were once again to be found around the halls with their collecting buckets.
We do not charge for our cloakroom so it was suggested that that those who used it might like to take the opportunity to donate.
In our supposed nation of animal lovers, cats and dogs often get the rough end of any hard times.

TRADE ENQUIRIES:

Brewers:

Our beer list is usually finalised in the autumn so any brewer wishing to register an interest for the 2014 festival, please feel free to do so. We would be happy to hear from you but this does not guarantee you an order.

Please contact Dave Plackett, the festival Beer Manager: beer@batterseabeerfestival.org.uk.

Bands:

We do not have any live or recorded music and that policy is not likely to change whilst we are in our current venue.

This also applies to equipment hire and similar services.

Stalls:

Sadly, we simply do not have any room for sales stalls.

We have also finalised our catering arrangements and we do not have space for additional outlets.
