Derby Branch Pubs of the Year Presentation Socials
The Derby Branch Pub of the Year awards were presented at two special Socials at which many Branch members attended.
The Country Pub of the Year and overall Branch Pub of the Year Award was presented to the Green Man in Ashbourne at the Branch Meeting on Thursday 1st July.
The Derby City Pub of the Year Award was presented to the Falstaff on Thursday 24th June.
Both pubs are worthy winners of the awards and it was great to see so many of you there for the presentations.
Plans are already on course for improving next year's POTY process.
Short-listing, judging and finally the presentation of awards at the beginning of the New Year will allow the winning pubs to enjoy their justly deserved fame and glory for a longer period.
Watch this space for more details soon....
