GET INVOLVED IN 2018

Training for Festival First Aiders There are a few spaces left on the First Aid training course on Monday 22nd January at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival. Find out more here (member login required).

Clubs Officer Needed For anyone interested in promoting real ale clubs we have a great opportunity to get more involved with CAMRA as our Regional Clubs Officer for East Anglia. You'll work with branches and the CAMRA Regional Director to promote the clubs and arrange the judging of the Regional Club of the Year. For more information please contact Andrea at ku.gro.armac@ailgnatsae.dr . CAMRA relies on volunteer help to organise festivals, judge beer, pubs and clubs and campaign on issues that concern real ale, real cider & perry lovers and pub goers. This is a key opportunity that can help make a difference in your CAMRA region.
