We are sad to inform you that one of our long-standing active members, John Hopkins, passed away recently aged 76. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He was until recently Gwynedd a Mon membership secretary, and was among the most regular attendees at our Branch meetings. He was a passionate collector of all Welsh breweriana but above all loved pubs. His funeral will take place at midday on Wednesday 30 July at the Bangor Crematorium - all members are welcome to attend.
