Keighley & Craven CAMRA and the Calendar Girls

The ladies of the Rylstone and District WI have certainly helped to put the Craven Dales on the map with their fundraising for Leukaemia Research. With this in mind Keighley and Craven Branch decided that this should be the 2004 Keighley Beer Festival Charity. Beer Festival customers donated their unused beer tokens raising £302.45.

Lynda Smith Chairman of the Keighley and Craven Branch presents a cheque to the Calendar Girls watched by Andy Moore Festival Organiser, Andy Grant and the licensee of The Devonshire Hotel, Grassington.
