Campaigning
Our main aims are fundamentally promoting real ale, real cider and perry and the traditional British pub. We also encourage the production of uncommon beer varieties and traditional beer styles including stout, porter, mild, as well as traditional cider and perry.
Some of our campaigns include (but are not exclusive to):
LocAle
CAMRA LocAle is an initiative that promotes pubs stocking locally brewed real ale. The scheme builds on a growing consumer demand for quality local produce and an increased awareness of ‘green’ issues.
Everyone benefits from local pubs stocking locally-brewed real ale!
Mild in May
CAMRA promotes Mild throughout May. We have encouraged pubs in our branch area to stock at least one Mild during May for the local pub-goers to try.
Local Pubs Week
With the most recent Beer & Pub Association report highlighting that 39 pubs are closing every week, CAMRA has to do more than ever to support local pubs through these difficult times. Our aims for Local Pubs Week are:
- Raise the profile and importance of pubs in the community
- Encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to use community pubs and visit the pub more often than they currently do
- Encourage pubs to organise events during the week to entice more trade
For 2011 our branch Local Pubs week is from the 9th to the 17th of July.
