CAMRA essentially remains a campaigning organisation and, with the threats currently faced by our independent pubs and breweries, there is still a lot to be done. Lobbying politicians (both national and local), objecting to planning applications and even delivering magazines such as London Drinker all contribute to the cause. Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills and meet like-minded people who share your love of all things to do with beer, cider and pubs. To find out more about volunteering opportunities go to https://ow.ly/SB3H50V0KGf.
In addition, as a CAMRA member you will have access to lots of beer-related benefits. You can take advantage of these at home, at events and in pubs. Here are some of the options for you to explore:
◊ The campaign: keep up with the campaign that your membership is supporting with our What’s Brewing online publication, available online here https://wb.camra.org.uk/.
◊ Beer discounts: your membership card and vouchers get you discounts on your beer at pubs up and down the country. Check out whatpub.com, search for locations and use the filters to find great pubs near you with features you like.
◊ Beer festivals: as a member of CAMRA, you get free or reduced price entry to our 160 beer festivals up and down the country. Search for a festival near you on our website, get out and try new brews!
