Pub under threat
The Sekforde, pictured above in 1988 is under
threat from the Islington Council. They want to
half the outside seating and stop drinking on
the pavement. Read more here. You can help
by sending your views to (and here is a
template)
Dear Islington Licencing,
I am emailing to express my support for the
way the Sekforde pub is currently run.
(insert home address & Name)
and send to licensing@islington.gov.uk
Its a bit rich for London councils to complain of
drinking in the street when they have allowed
pubs to have changed use thereby forcing
people onto the pavement.
Our branch will celebrate being 50 years old in
2024.
Back in the day (1980-1989) the branch
produced a local newsletter named
unsurprisingly enough, Pigs Ear. Here is the
Nov/Dec 1981 edition. One from Feb 85. But
before that Bas Clarke produced the East
London Newsletter. Here is the first volume
from December 1976, Volume 3 and Volume
6. Volume 7 , Volume 10, Volume 13 , Volume
14 , Volume 15 , Volume 17, Volume 18 ,
Volume 19 and Volume 20.

Campaigning for real ale,
pubs & drinkers' rights
since 1971.
ABOUT CAMRA
CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale is an independent, voluntary organisation once (Dec 2019) with 192,289 members campaigning for real ale, community pubs and consumer rights. Down (Dec 2023) to a seven-year low of 150,728 possibly due to the pandemic without beer festivals for renewals/new members.. But it could be that now members have been deprived of a monthly What’s Brewing paper and can only view information online that they find it no longer value for money? CAMRA acts as the champion for beer drinkers and pub-goers on issues ranging from protecting pubs from closing down, keeping the lid on the price of a pint and ensuring there is fair competition in the beer and pubs market. CAMRA supports well-run pubs as the centres of community life and believe their continued existence play a critical social role in UK culture.
