CAMRAThe Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), formed in 1971, campaigns for real ale, real pubs and consumer rights.Around 200 branches cover the UK, many of which run local beer festivals, publish local newsletters and run social events to pubs and breweries.

CAMRA is currently campaigning to save the British pub (new research highlights 52 pubs closing every week) and get a fair deal for beer drinkers. They are pushing for reform of the beer tie, fair taxes on beer, minimum pricing regulations, zero duty rate on low strength beers, plus law reforms to protect pubs and the protection and promotion of well-run community pubs. If you are interested in joining CAMRA, call 01727 867201 or visit www.camra.org.uk
