Tony Worrall
|
It is with great sadness that the branch announce the tragic passing of Tony Worrall.
On the evening of Friday 30th November Tony after an evening with branch friends suffered a heart attack. He was taken to hospital but
sadly did not recover. He will be missed enormously by his friends within the branch but more so of course by his wife Joy, immediate
family and close friends.
Most visitors to the Bradford Beer Festival over recent years and many to Keighley will have met Tony - if only briefly. He was more
often than not responsible for admissions and the first person you would meet. Future festivals will not be the same without him for any of us.

Tyke Taverner
For some time know some previous copies of the branch magazine Tyke Taverner have
been available on the website in Adobe PDF format. For several reasons including
limited webpsace we have not had more recent copies available. It is hoped in the near future
we shall replace these with the most recent/current edition of Tyke Taverner so those unable to grab a copy
from local outlets will be able to keep an eye on whats happening in the
local branch area. Watch this space.
