Helensburgh & Lomond Real Ale Festival 2009

It's all over. Hopefully not too many sore heads, and hopefully lots of good memories. We have had a great weekend, lots and lots of real ale fans descending on the Victoria Halls and drinking us dry by 9pm on Saturday.

We hope you had a great time if you came along. We'll be updating the website over the next few days, keeping you informed of how much you have helped us raise for Parklands School, which ale won the ale of the festival award (as chosen by you), posting the all important quiz answers and team scores, announcing the winner of the reverse auction, and, of course, posting photos to the gallery. We've had a sneak preview of our official photographer Felicity's pics and they are brilliant so make sure you check back. And if you took any photos yourself we would be delighted to have copies that we can put in the gallery.

If you have any post-festival feedback then please drop us a line (or become a member below and post a comment), we are always looking for ways we can adapt and improve, but it's also nice to hear about the things we got right.
