    On Saturday December 6th the branch went to the Seven Stars at Aberedw.

    It is without a bus link so we had a few shared cars this time.

    The place was empty at 1.00pm, so we got a table near the fire. There was Chris, Myself, Terry, Dave D, David S and Graham. Beer was Wye Vally HPA or Butty Bach. All in good condition.

    Also Peter a local CAMRA member came to say "Hello" He pointed out a framed picture of a British fighter jet. Given to the pub by the RAF as a "Thank you" for returning parts of a plane that crashed nearby in 1989 while on a training exercise. The pilot died. His mother donated some seating looking towards where the accident happened.

    Radnorshire Arms Presteigne 2025

    We finally got to Presteigne for a beer on Saturday 2nd August 2025 at the Radnorshire Hotel and stayed in their bar. This is a bar/hotel with lots of historical interest and well worth a visit for that alone. CAMRA members who got there were Chris ( Chairman), Myself (Dave Gill secretary), Dave D, Terry. Also we were joined by two former CAMRA members giving us a lookover. The staff were friendly and helpful. Terry checked the hotel web site which said "No dogs inside" In fact he brought his dog and there were three others in the bar.

    The Radnorshire Arms had four cask beers which were all from the Wye Valley Brewery - 'HPA' - commonly available in Radnorshire, 'Pioneer' - probably a seasonal, Butty Bach - commonly available in Radnorshire and Shaka - which was a new one to most of us and worth checking out.
