The previous years Golden Pint Awards seem to have gone down well so thought i’d do it again this year as a bit of fun.
Feel free to do a runner-up and a winner for each category (or some honourable mentions) and link to blog posts if you’ve written about winners before.
Then post it between now and New Year’s Eve and leave a link in the comments….If you don’t have a blog and want to take part email me your entries and a photo or two and I’ll put them up on here
