..\..\My Pictures\SHEEP.bmp

 

 

The North Cotswold Branch of CAMRA in conjunction with the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway are holding their 2nd Summer Ale and Steam Weekend at Winchcombe and Toddington Stations on the 8th and 9th August 2015

 

  Following the success of our 1st Summer Ale & Steam Weekend last year, we will be repeating the splitting of the beer sales between Winchcombe and Toddington Stations.

 

  The bar on both stations will be open from 10:30 until 19:00 on Saturday 8th, and from 10:30 until 16:00 on Sunday 9th. Opening on Sunday will be subject to beer availability.

 

30 Beers in total, 20 at Winchcombe, and 10 at Toddington.   Plus Hot & Cold Food with Soft Drinks

 

        Camping is available. See below right for details.

 

Train Times & Entry

 

  A ticket for travel or a platform ticket (£2 at Winchcombe, £1 at Toddington) on the day is required for entry to the event. You will then need to buy a souvenir glass for an additional £2. If you return your glass a refund of £1 will be given (The other £1 goes towards washing the glass etc before it can be re-used), You will also need to purchase a Beer Token Card(s) for the value of either £5 or £10. (No cash sales at the bar).

 

  Hence a complete normal bar package costs either £7 or £12 depending on the token card value. Any unused tokens can be exchanged back for cash, or donated to charity

 

  You only need to buy a bar package once, which you can use at either bar. Extra token cards can be purchased as required.
