The event was staged at its usual venue of Sleaford Cricket Club pavilion bar on Saturday afternoon and evening and there was a ‘lovely selection’ of 25 different varieties of gins, plus mixers and snacks to sample.The now annual event was led by Rotary Club president Ann Waldeck with fellow Rotarians pitching in to serve the doubles and singles, with accompanying fruit, as well as rustling up hot dogs, tea and coffee.
Entry was free and organisers say proceeds from sales, plus a raffle, will go towards Rotary club funds to help good causes. This was boosted by a number of local businesses sponsoring the event.
The first gin festival was held by the club in 2018, followed up in 2019 but there has been a gap enforced by the pandemic.
