Details of local CAMRA activities in the near future. Our forthcoming social events will be shown here, together with branch meetings, pub crawls and campaigning events.
Our AGM took place on Thursday 24th April, at the Prince of Wales, 136 Hampton Road, Twickenham at 8pm. As nobody came forward at the meeting or subsequently to support and help the beer festival committee, the Twickenham Beer and Cider Festival for 2009 will regretfully now not take place.
Local pub/brewery changes. general gossip, and AGM decisions.
Twickenham Fine Ales wins Silver at the 2007 Great British Beer Festival for 'Sundancer'. This year they have won Gold for 'Naked Ladies' in the best bitter category and Bronze for 'Gothick Dark' in the milds category at the Reading Beer Festival May 2008.
The Branch Pub of the Year for 2008 is The Roebuck, 72 Hampton Rd. Hampton Hill,
TW12 1JN. The runner-up was O'Brien's, 11 London Rd, Brentford.
The Twickenham Beer & Cider Festival held between 23rd to 25th October 2008 was a great success, but we apologise to all that had to wait a long time in the queues that formed on Thursday evening as we had exceeded the maximum number of people that are allowed in the building at any one time.
Attendance at this year's festival broke all records and on Thursday night it was 20% up on last year. Approximatly 3,150 people visited the festival over the two and half days.
We now have an on-line list of the ~230 Pubs and bars in our area. If you have visited a Pub, Club or bar in our branch area we would like to know how you enjoyed it.
The CAMRA's National Beer Scoring System (NBSS) is now also up and running. This is a 'members only' site - so you must login to add beer scores.
CAMRA has now set October aside as Cider & Perry Month.
