John was a great supporter of branch activities and rarely missed a meeting or a social. He was a reliable and regular festival volunteer, working at every Pig\u2019s Ear Beer Festival that I can recall and many other festivals in London and beyond, including the Great British Beer Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was a private but social person who never had an e-mail address or \u2018phone. One of his recent positions at our festival was on the door, welcoming visitors to the event. His passing is a great loss, not only to the branch but to CAMRA generally. He will be missed by us all. RIP John.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JL.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JL.png 601w, https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JL-300x231.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The photograph, taken by Steve Richardson, is of John at the 2011 Pig\u2019s Ear festival.<br><em><strong>Andy Kinch<\/strong><\/em><br><em><strong>ELAC Branch Secretary<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAMRA\u2019s East London &amp; City branch are very sad to report that John\u2019s sister has informed us that John passed away in January after a short illness (not COVID related).&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tribute"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1992"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2058,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1992\/revisions\/2058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/londondrinker.camra.org.uk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
