An early Lib Dem victory in North Shropshire

The Bailey Head in Oswestry is the new Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) West Midlands Regional Cider Pub of the Year, says a press release from the British Guild of Beer Writers.

Well done to the pub's owners Grace Goodlad and Duncan Borrowman, who will be known to many readers of this blog. 

Grace was a Liberal Democrat councillor in Bexley, while Duncan is a former Lib Dem parliamentary candidate and was a member of party staff at Cowley Street for many years.

The Bailey Head is also the reigning CAMRA Shropshire County Pub of the Year and Shropshire County Cider Pub of the Year.
