On July 10th we celebrated the British Formula one event at Silverstone with a BBQ and Harry Payne
sung us through the evening. He was an amazing guitarist and a talented newcomer, he will definately
be appearing again at the Star!












Our beer festival took place over two days 26/27th June and we had glorious weather.
We had four bands perform including Frances and Harry above. The Happy club,Stereo asylum and
Prestige performed in front of a supportive crowd.

The Moulton Morris dancers gave us a good show outside the pub and were great fun!



In the rear field we provided face painting with Maggie, stalls including the air ambulance charity, Ferrett roulette
which was so amusing and Geoff raised £50 for Help for heroes charity.
We had 9 ales on sale and Ted, Charlie and Charlotte slaved over a hot barbeque. Whilst Clive cooked his fine menu

A big thank you to all those who came to support us.
