All members and non-members welcome to attend Branch meetings. Come see what it is all about. Its not just a friendly meeting but a great social night as well. If you're not a CAMRA member you can join on the night if you want to. (You will not be put under any pressure to join, well not much anyway) We will always have a quiz or guest speaker; maybe even some free tastings!

Message From Ray Kirby - Social Secretary

First up, please note there will be no committee meeting in October as the dates clash with the Nottingham Robin Hood Beer Festival. If you have any urgent business to discuss with the committee, then please approach one of us at the Beer Festival, we will probably be too busy to do anything about it, but I’m sure we will tell you that in the most diplomatic way we can.

The mini bus survey trips for the next period are as follows; in August we will take in Kegworth Normanton on Soar and Zouch, in September the area to be visited is Giltbrook and Newthorpe and October will have us visit Nuthall and Watnall.

The next public transport social/survey trips are a “Rays Round” crawl in August and I intend to catch the NCT no 13 bus from Beastmarket Hill in the Market Square. In September I’ll be on the NCT no. 30 from Victoria Centre, starting in Wollaton and at the end of October another “Rays Round” crawl, based on the ramblings in this edition, catching NCT no 87 from Parliament Street.

We have a number of presentations in August, for the Best Pint (Queen Adelaide) and Display (Canalhouse) in the Stout and Porter Trail and the same for the Mild Trail, Best Pint (joint, Hand and Heart and the Crown, Beeston) Best Display (Newshouse). We also have an Award of Excellence to present to the Roundhouse. See the diary dates for all the details.

At the end of September we will be doing a crawl of the Castle Rock pubs in the Nottingham area, we will be collecting money for a Castle Rock nominated charity along the way and also handing out flyers advertising the forth-coming Nottingham Robin Hood Beer Festival. Starting in the Bread and Bitter, we shall also be visiting Forest Tavern, Lincolnshire Poacher, Stratford Haven, Vat & Fiddle, Canalhouse and the Newshouse.

As always, your CAMRA membership card is required to obtain your discount on paying for bus trips.
Also, don’t forget, you can sign up for e-mail alerts for all the trips, just let me know.
See the diary dates column for times and dates of all the trips, socials etc.
Don’t forget, that EVERYONE is welcome to any CAMRA meeting or outing, you do NOT have to be a member. And finally I can be contacted electronically at: raykirby@nottinghamcamra.org
