A SOCIAL club near Liversedge has been presented with a CAMRA award for the third year in a row.

The Heavy Woollen branch of the Campaign for Real Ale selected The Hartshead in Prospect Road, Hartshead, as its runner-up Club of the Year.

The certificate was presented by branch chairman Andy Kassube, who said: "The award is testament to the consistency of the beer quality and the warm welcome you receive when you visit. The club is integral to the community and has established as a popular venue for a drink and a friendly social visit.

"The club is a home from home for its members and visitors and caters for all. A major refurbishment a few years ago resulted in an attractive horseshoe bar in the centre flanked by a comfortable lounge area on one side and a games area on the other, with a full-sized snooker table and plenty of space.The pub has also established a good reputation for live music performances."

The social club offers four hand pumps with an emphasis on quality craft brews with up to two guest ales.

The Club of the Year award for 2016 went to The Hanging Heaton Cricket Club in Batley.
