ABOUT CAMRA
CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale is an independent, voluntary organisation of over 190,000 members campaigning for real ale, community pubs and consumer rights. 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.
The CAMRA NE have made a
decision that branch
physical meetings should not
take place. All beer festivals
up till June are also
cancelled.
So this will include our AGM
and also the PE Wash up
meeting which are our
scheduled meetings.
I am sorry to report the passing of my good
friend Jeff Sturrock on 24 March two months
short of his 80th birthday of a suspected
heart attack.
Jeff was the music impresario for the early
Pigs Ear Festival signing such acts as the
Temperance Seven. When the festival moved
to Stratford he and I managed the Products
and Membership stall. Jeff was professional
in all he did and signed members in record
numbers which have never been equalled.
When we needed pubs surveying for our
beer guide in 1986 he surveyed 157 pubs and
in 1991 went better with 188. He did not see
the need to drink in every pub he surveyed
and turned up with pen and clipboard.
An obituary has appeared in London Drinker, here is
the link.
