Deputy Mayor Keith Greenwell opens the Chippy Beer Festival and wishes the organiser Mike Dixon every success for the day and drinks his health with a pint of Ginger Tosser -  He could have chosen Pot Wallop or Old Moggy or Old Knobbly or Jail Ale or any other  of the 12 West Country real ales on sale. There was a steady stream of knowledgeable visitors throughout the day until late evening - and a lot of compliments about the range of ales which Mike Dixon had managed to arrange. With the help of a dozen sponsors Mike is confident he will be turning in a small profit which will go towards the refurbishment of town playgrounds.
