At the recent AGM and members weekend, motion 4 was put forward. This was to get CAMRA to agree to campaign to get brewers to say on pump clips and literature where beer is actually brewed. For example according to the pump clip Old Speckled Hen is brewed at Moorland. Oh no it isn't its brewed at Bury St Edmund's. Ruddles County, brewed at Bury St Edmund's. Hardy and Hansons beers brewed at Bury St Edmund's. Mansfield bitter brewed at Mansfield? No brewed at Marstons brewery, Wolverhampton. The list goes on. But this amounts to misleading the drinking public to drinking what we are calling "fake beers" without even knowing it.

The most recent of course is Hardy & Hansons taken over and closed down by Greene King, but look at their pubs, still selling H & H beers with H & H signage still plastered all over the outside and in. Surely we can not stand by and let brewers get away with this deception. So now we can campaign against this.

This motion ties in with the LocAle campaign as these "fake beers" are being transported back many miles to be sold in pubs that where once local to the original breweries. So play your part and support our drink LocAle in local pubs campaign..

Andrew Ludlows speech, putting forward the motion was supported by Caroline Smith who reinforced the actual breweries that had been bought out and closed down and where their beers are now brewed.

The motion was carried by an almost unanimous vote.
