Yes, "consistency" should be of paramount importance, but how acceptable are the "one off nights once in a while"? Are blind eyes often turned to one off bad...
I agree totally that it would be wrong to ignore or discount the occasional less that excellent pint, and that’s what I am talking about, that a pub that...
... In terms of Pub 1 the above doesn't provide enough information for my branch. Under our "rules", a pub needs at least 10 surveys by at least 5 different ...
I think it’s very interesting that whilst we have a common emerging language for describing beer quality, namely the NBSS scores and their definitions, at a...
Sorry, I made a mistake, as far as our branch are concerned: Pub 1: Pub would be ineligible, not enough surveys or surveyors but this would have been picked up...
... Actually, I think Brett and I agree more closely than he thinks. It's true that in our branch the bulk of the initial scores for a given pub are usually...
Hiya, We have our branch agm in January and as we have quite a few new active members I was wondering....... Has anyone out there ever written up the duties...
Don't know if this will help but Log in to CAMRA Members site, go to CAMRA Volunteers section, then Branches and you will find a Branch Guidelines document. ...

All our GBG packs arrived sealed so we were not able to check what was in each envelope. Were we an exception? If the envelopes do go out sealed I would like...
I think this is a very sensible suggestion. I had to carefully prise open one envelope to discover that there was no order form enclosed. Andy Shaw Hunts...
Tony, This may initially seem a reasonable suggestion but have you ever tried leaving self-seal envelopes open? You end up with everything else stuck to them...
... My wife uses a lot of self-seal envelopes for her business. The ones she buys have a little non-stick strip along the flap which peels off to uncover the...
Hi Sarah, I have to agree with Andy on this: - The self-seal envelopes I use don't have the non-sticky strip that you peel off. The flap and main envelope are...
I'm sorry but I really can't see this being viable. These envelopes are prepared and then stored for despatch to branches and we are talking about the same...
Surely it would save HQ more time if they just sent X letters, X envelopes, etc, and let the branches put the thing together? How long does it really take the...
Rob, I don't actually think there would be a time saving - instead of putting one of each pile into an envelope and sticking it down the person doing the...
Can someone please tell me what the GBG and POTY schedule is. I am sure it is on the Volunteers board but I don't have access to it yet and I need to ensure we...
Tony, we're just taking our shortlist POTY votes at the moment, and will go into the final vote in a week or two. GBG's need to be with your RD by March (I...

I think it's been decided that branch POTY's should be announced during Pubs Week in February. Our branch selects the branch POTY at the same meeting in ...
