Oxford CAMRA:
2002 Beer Festival
See also: 2008 | 2007 | 2006 | 2005 | 2004 | 2003 | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 | 1999
The 2002 Oxford Beer Festival ran from Thursday 17th - Saturday 19th October. Previous Oxford Beer Festivals at the town hall were organized by Tony Morris, who is an ornithologist by profession. Tony left Oxford for a new job in early 2002, so this was the first town hall festival that we mounted without his guiding hand - in recognition of his influence and mentorship throughout previous years we selected Birds as our theme for 2002, with many of the beers or brewers having bird names or connections.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who helped organise and staff the festival, and all the visitors who came and drank. We hope you enjoyed it!
Greatful thanks are also due to:
- Oxford Brewery, Wadworth and Wychwood, who all very kindly donated beer to the festival;
- Shipping Beer and Crouch Vale, the wholesalers who provided the bulk of the beer order;
- Tony Flatman, landlord of the Wharf House, who (as usual!) helped in a great number of ways including choosing and sourcing the ciders and perrys.
- David Marrison of Select Foods (Tel/Fax: 01884 840874), who ran the very popular "Proper Cornish Pasties" stall for us (and also featured at the 2002 Great British Beer Festival).
If anyone has any comments or suggestions about the festival which the branch ought to take into account when planning future events then we would love to hear from you.
