Back at home and starting to set up for the beer festival for the CAMRA branch beer festival. It is once again being held in Holy trinity Church in Hull. Holy Trinity is the largest parish church in England and was started under Edward I more than 700 years ago. It has some of the finest examples of medieval brickwork to be found as bricks were a new material, rediscovered after the technology had been forgotten after the Romans left, and they were made locally. Andrew Marvell and William Wilberforce both attended the church in the 1700's. Holy Trinity survived Zeppelin raids in WWI and the Blitz of WWII. There are now plans to make the church more amenable for holding events for our big Year of Culture in 2017.

and from the west.
The Beer festival will be here for the fourth year and it has proved ideal as the beer stays cool in the church rather than some overheated halls. They are expecting 3000 through the doors on Thursday, Friday and Saturday but not if we don't get everything erected in time.
The North Chancel just as we get started.
The south chancel has been dug up to repair the heating pipes causing a bit of a delay.
The racking for the gravity served beers being erected to the north side.
Plenty of beer arriving already. The strong ones will be served by gravity on the north side. Stowed below the Falkland Campaign memorial where so many ships and crews served.
And the others on the south side by hand pull.
