Martin Hoare 1952 - 2019 provided and operated the PA system, which he used to good effect to run the pub quiz. Martin loved attending science fiction conventions, where he provided sound systems and ran the real ale bar. He also loved Belgium and Belgian beer and visited Ostend a few times a year. There he had a group of good friends and was involved in De Oostendse Bierjutters, a local beer supporters club. Born in Newport, Martin studied Physics at Brasenose College, Oxford. Later in life he took a Law Degree with the Open University, one module of this being Welsh in remembrance of his roots. He then proceeded to take on the taxman in court, representing himself, and won! He was frequently found propping up the bar in the Alehouse, particularly when Wales were playing rugby, and had been doing so since it became the Hobgoblin. He was involved in the local CAMRA group and, at the time of his death, held the position of Vice Chairman. His involvement with the Reading Beer and Cider Festival dates back to the very beginning, working as Finance Steward. In later years he held other stewarding roles, was a valuable member of the Foreign Beer Bar team and Mine’s A Pint 9 Martin was authorised to give firework displays, and did so until fairly recently with a group of loyal friends. They would all meet up in the pub afterwards and greet each other with the shout “ten”, holding up their hands to prove they still had all their fingers. Yet another of Martin’s talents was pickling onions with the help of his glove puppet Doris Panda, and he entered these into the Retreat’s annual pickled onion contest. Martin was a real character who knew an extraordinarily large number of people, all of whom will miss him greatly. He died twenty years to the day after his beloved wife Jean. Sue Thirlaway
