BEER, sport and charity fund-raising will combine for a great day out at Ledbury Rugby Club.
A memorial rugby tournament, in memory of former player Jack Segust, will take place on Saturday, July 11, and this year it will be combined with a beer festival, from noon.
A memorial tournament last year attracted 350 players, and so a large turn-out is expected.
The idea for a beer festival has come from the Bromesberrow Heath-based company, cask supplier, Ecasks.
General manager, James Lewis said: "The Rugby Club was putting together the memorial tournament, and we wanted to do a charity beer festival, and so it just seemed sensible to to put everything together."
Proceeds will go to the Special Care Baby Unit at Hereford Hospital, because of help given by the unit to an Ecasks employee.
And Ecasks will double whatever is raised for the good cause on the day.
There will be 20 different ales on sale, all at £2.50 a pint.
Beers on sale will include Marstons, Black Sheep and Wye Valley.
Mr Segust, a promising rugby player for Ledbury, was only 21, when he died in a freak golf buggy accident, in August 2012.
