18th May. The death was announced of
former Branch Chairman, Pigs Ear Festival
Organiser and ELAC Darts captain Bernard
Boorman. Bernard took over the running of
the festival whilst at Stratford and continued
to do so until moving to Harlow. In later years
he suffered ill health but even following a
triple bypass still managed to make it to the
festival at Clapton. He was my dart captain
until there were only three of us left in the
team. A life long Spurs supporter there were
times during branch meetings when he was
asked to concentrate on the matters in hand
rather than the last match with fellow
supporter Dave Johnson. Had they been
talking about Leyton Orient I would have
joined them. He was also a fanatical Status
Quo fan who used to go round the country to
see them play.
His family have asked not to be contacted but
a glass of something beery raised and give a
toast in his memory as he would have liked
that. RIP Bernard.
Keith

ABOUT CAMRA
CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale is an independent, voluntary organisation once with over 190,000 members campaigning for real ale, community pubs and consumer rights. Down to 157, 613 now due to the pandemic without beer festivals for renewal. But it could be that now members have be deprived of a monthly What’s Brewing paper and can only view it online that they find it no longer value for money? CAMRA acts as the champion for beer drinkers and pub-goers on issues ranging from protecting pubs from closing down, keeping the lid on the price of a pint and ensuring there is fair competition in the beer and pubs market. CAMRA supports well-run pubs as the centres of community life and believe their continued existence play a critical social role in UK culture.
