A good number of members helped out at Beer & Cider by the Sea, a festival in marquees on Eastbourne seafront at the end of May, one of two festivals run by Eastbourne Borough Council Events Team in conjunction with the Branch. The other festival is the larger one indoors in the Devonshire Quarter in October.

Our pictures show the equipment being set up, some of the workers taking a break in the sun, early arrivals settling down to their beer on the Saturday morning, the beer bar and branch members behind it.
