Earlier this year I put out a call to members, asking if anyone would take on the role of cider officer.
Fortunately one of our members rallied to the call and stepped forward to take on the role of our branch Cider Officer, Stephen Mulholland. Stephen has been a regular contributor to Merseyale for several years. I put some questions to Stephen so he could introduce himself.
Q) How long have you been a member of CAMRA?
A) I have been a member of CAMRA for over five years now and some of you have probably already know me.
Q) What has been your involvement with CAMRA?
A) During the last five years, I have gained many benefits as a member of CAMRA. Meeting so many great people, attending real ale and cider festivals, coach trips and meet ups before going to events.
Q) Why have you taken on the role of Cider Officer?
A) During the last couple of years, I have gotten more interested in real cider as well as continuing to enjoy real ale.
Q) What’s your favourite Cider or Perry?
A) My favourite cider is Gwynt Y Ddraig Black Dragon, Thistly Cross Whisky Cask Cider and Lilley's because they provided an excellent delivery service during lockdown.
Q) What’s your favourite interest/hobby outside of CAMRA?
A) My other interests are going to rock gigs and discovering new bands. I enjoy foreign travel especially the Caribbean but haven't been outside the U.K since 2019.
Q) What do you hope to achieve in the next 3 months?
A) During the next three months I want to continue to promote real cider and support CAMRA in its fair pricing for real cider campaign.
