CAMRA

[BrotherMalice]

We got many members on here?
I have been thinking about joining :)

 

[The Goatreich]

I'm a new member. I mainly signed up as I'm off to the Chippenham beer festival this weekend and I wanted to take advantage of the offers for CAMRA members.

I used to be a member, but didn't renew my membership after a few years, as I found our branch to be a bit elitist, and I HATE that :twisted:

I've been a member for about 12 months not a very active one but the magazines are pretty good

 

[RokDok]

I've been a member for 25 years.
I'm old enough to remember the dark days when beer in pubs was truly awful, Watney's Red Barrel, Starlight Bitter and other tasteless gassy rubbish.
Smaller quality breweries being taken over by huge corporations where profit was king with complete disregard for our heritage.
Pubs that didn't need cellars - beer delivered like petrol into a subterranean tank in the carpark.
I believe that CAMRA played an important role in reversing this and that's why I joined.
I was a completely dormant member until last year when I persuaded a few like minded beer enthusiasts to join.
Next thing is we've volunteered to serve at the local CAMRA festival- what a crack that is- do it if you can- I reckon I had a mouthful or two of a couple of dozen beers.
We've just volunteered to do a local publink.
Plus you get £20 worth of Wetherspoons vouchers, money off entry for beer festivals, free edition of the good beer guide etc.
We've not experienced any elitism, we've just met a variety of people who all have one thing in commom- a love of well crafted beer.

Cheers.

I'm all for great beer, and CAMRA's festivals are great; the branch meetings weren't for me.

I was a member for a few years but stopped it to join the CBA, I couldn't afford both.

CBA?

 

[Darcey]

Stockport / South Manchester branch is very active. I cant say I have the time to join in any meetings. Would be nice to beable to have a winge every now and then. Cant say I 100% support all that CAMRA does... or maybe the WAY it does it...

Still where would the UK pub scene be with out them? Very different indeed.

I have been a member for the whole of 4 months! I signed up mostly because of their support of real cider. Their pubblications are interesting as well

 

[BeerEagle]

I used to be a member until the chair of the local branch Sh@gged my (now ex) wife.

No manners, some people

[Dave1970]

I'm a member, turns out the pub that my rugby club uses as a clubhouse gives a discount to CAMRA members so the membership has pretty much paid for itself already :thumb:
