Annual Events 2025

You are invited to attend any or all of the following events.

We have a reduced programme of events this year unfortunately due to lack of members able to run events. We have had no Social Committee for some years now and it has now become impossible for the remaining committee members to put on a full programme of events so please support the events if possible.
Please let us know if you are able to help.

August Wednesday - Monday 20th – 25th
EAST ANGLIAN BEER FESTIVAL at St. Edmundsbury Cathedral. Each year we ask for volunteers to help out at the Beer Festival in various posts. A Volunteer form will be available nearer the time. The festivals profits all go to charity and because some of our member’s volunteer, Upbeat has been a recipient of donations for several years. If you would like to help out, please let us know. You can choose your day and length of time say for 1 hour or 2 hrs or all afternoon etc. WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP OUT.
