Website and Beer Mat Show

The website has now been started (link on side bar). Signed up for a free site - part of the Get Brtitish Business Online  so if you've got a business and want a free site for a couple of years check it out. The google site builder is not the most intuitive but it is free! Other news - our open show this year is going to be a beermat show. More details soon but the idea is anyone can submit work executed on  a beer mat and we will be showing everything we get during November and December. You can pick a beermat up from us (or from another pub if you must! :)), and then turn it into a work of art any way you want. Beermats, pens pencils etc. will be on the tables at the Crompton from the beginning of September if you want to come along and make it here whilst enjoying a drink and enduring I mean enjoying the critical analysis you will enevitably receive....

Pssst!! Anniversary Issue now on blog sidebar

Party Time!!

Beach Party on June 5th, 2.30 pm

Big Draw at the Crompton - plans for 2010

Last year we did drawing on beermats which went really well (in progress above) This year we're thinking of covering the tables with blackboards and putting out chalks every day for the duration. Also hoping to get involved with another beer mat project - more info at a later date. Taking place in October all around the country the aim of Big Draw is....to get people drawing!! This year is also the first year of Derby Big Draw - events will take place all over the city, so be prepared to draw, doodle and scribble to your hearts content.

A few photos of Corrina's show - on until end of April

A beer brewed for Perry!

To celebrate all the time Perry has spent at The Crompton and his advanced age, Trevor at the Derby Brewing Company has produced a very special beer. Perry wanted a strong, pale ale and 50 20 was the result. First served at Perry's 50th birthday party, it is going down very well! Make sure you try some while we still have it!
