Beerfordbury Wassail 2011
 

Beerfordbury Barrel Tappers and Wine Tipplers Association

WASSAIL CREW 2013
All proceeds go to our selected charities. We pay our own expenses.

26th Series

This year we are supporting the Herts Air Ambulance and StClair Hospice.

Five tours were planned and done this year (its remarkable how we do it at our age ...) - we welcomed Nora & Dan to the merry throng, both are now fully qualified in the art of getting exceedingly wet whilst straining the vocal chords.

Last but not least a HUGE thank you to the landlords who allowed us in and the patrons and publicans who put coin into our hat.The result is a grand or so for the charities we support.

Aspiring Wassailers should contact Mac on 01279 656664
