A big thank you to Nicola at The Real Cider co, for putting on a fantastic spread of ciders to try, and mulled cider which kept us nice and toasty outside in the cold.
Another thank you to Mark and his friends on providing us with the great music!

Thanks to all who came and supported us, and keep your ears open for more special days at the Bear before Christmas comes and gets us!
