PREMISES UPDATES Updated 9 February 2010
ADDITIONS DELETIONS TOWN MAPS CORRECTIONS

The ADDITIONS are premises that do not appear in the latest edition of CRAG, either having been inadvertantly missed when the original surveys were conducted, or having recently converted to Real Ale. Some of these are "unconfirmed" having been reported in brief, and await a full survey.  The DELETIONS are premises which have been reported as closed, or no longer offering Real Ale. Where these changes effect  TOWN MAPS updated maps are included. Finally there are a number of  CORRECTIONS to premises entries where some fundamental part of an entry requires updating or correction.
