A typical wet Sunday afternoon . It was . But it wasn’t . Those who took Courage in hand , or indeed , many other \u00a0fine liquid refreshment , found that the Hilden Beer and Music Festival was the place to go on such a day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tents, awnings , tepees , umbellas and see through pacamacs defeated the elements and let everyone enjoy the ambience and bonhomie that was as evident as the beer and the beat . The music was raunchy , the kiddies danced and splashed in the puddles, the adults talked and tippled , and the food was just perfect for the occasion .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks very much Alan for\u00a0 your input and for kindly allowing us to use your images from the day.\u00a0 Hopefully next year we’ll get a pint together!<\/p>\n
