WHAT IS CAMRA

The following information is quoted from the CAMRA website. More information can be obtained from www.camra.org.uk

CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, is an independent, voluntary, consumer organisation which campaigns for real ale, real pubs and consumer rights.
Membership is open to all individuals although corporate entities such as breweries and pubs are not members; we currently have over 150,000  individual members.
CAMRA is governed by a voluntary unpaid national executive, elected by the membership. We have a branch structure which means that all members can join a local CAMRA branch and campaign and socialise locally. There are around 200 branches covering the UK and many of the branches run local beer festivals, publish local newsletters and run social events to pubs and breweries.
Although we are a volunteer-led organisation there is also a small professional staff of twenty five responsible for central campaigning, research, membership services, publishing, marketing and administration.
CAMRA is financed through membership subscriptions, sales of products such as books and sweatshirts, and from the proceeds of beer festivals. We are a not-for-profit company, limited by guarantee and our accounts are lodged annually with Companies House.

CAMRA's Objectives

CAMRA's mission is to act as champion of the consumer in relation to the UK and European beer and drinks industry. It aims to:

• secure the long term future of real ale, real cider and real perry by increasing their quality, availability and popularity;
• promote and protect pubs and clubs as social centres and part of the UK’s cultural heritage;
• increase recognition of the benefits of responsible, moderate social drinking;
• play a leading role in the provision of information, education and training to all those with an interest in beer, cider and perry of any type;
• ensure where possible that producers and retailers of beer, cider and perry act in the best interests of the consumer.

CAMRA NEAR YOU

Loughborough and North Leicestershire branch of CAMRA covers an area from Heather in the south to Cavendish Bridge in the north, and Albert Village in the west to Thrussington in the east with nearly 200 pubs serving real ale.

The branch has a membership of over 700. We run one beer festival a year - Loughborough in March, as well as helping with equipment and staffing for many other local festivals.

There is a monthly branch meeting which is held in different pubs around the branch area. This is open to all members. Trips are organised by branch members to local beer festivals as well as interesting towns and cities around the country.

Details of all branch activities can be found on the Branch Diary page, or by using the "CONTACT US" link.
