ROUND Table members flew the flag for Witney-brewed Hobgoblin Ale on a trip to Le Touquet in France.

The resort on France’s north coast is twinned with Witney.

After they were welcomed to France by members of Le Touquet’s twinning association, the trip took an unexpected turn as the visitors were driven around in a London taxi.

They called in at shops to exchange Wychwood Brewery’s Hobgoblin Ale for French brews, which will be auctioned at the Round Table-run Witney Beer Festival next month.

The brewery is sponsoring the event at St Mary’s Church, in Church Green, on Saturday, May 4.

It will raise money for the St Mary’s Preservation Trust and Witney Round Table’s charity funds.
