This is a new award made to landlords who have had a tenure of ten years or more and whose pub has been in the Good Beer Guide for the whole of that period.

In these days of constant change and variable beer quality this is a remarkable achievement and this was recognised at a presentation made by George and Tina Hemmings on Tuesday 26th September to Colin and Heather.

Colin, pictured right receiving his award, has now decided to retire and this makes the award even more poignant.
