Campaign for Real Ale Campaign for Real Ale WATFORD AND DISTRICT BRANCH Present an Auction of Breweriana on Thursday 19th March 2020 at the WEST HERTS SPORTS CLUB, Park Avenue, Watford Starting at 8.00pm, viewing of lots from 7.00pm CAVEAT The following is the list of lots we hope to have available at the 2020 CAMRA Watford & District branch breweriana auction. Although we hope all the listed items will be available on the night, we cannot guarantee that they all will be, nor that all the lots will be constituted as shown. All dimensions are approximate and are in centimetres (2.54cm to the inch for those who can't remember). Comments on the condition of the items are subjective, therefore close viewing of the lots on the night is strongly recommended. XX in the right hand margin indicates good or very good condition; X some marking/poor condition; blank indicates very poor condition; o unseen. PURCHASE OF LOTS To reduce the need for items to be paid for individually, we propose to keep a record of each purchase so that all lots bought can be collected and paid for either during the intervals or at the end. In order for this to operate smoothly we would ask all bidders to register for a bidder’s number and to show that after a successful bid. Cheques will only be accepted if supported by a bankers' card and can only be taken up to the relevant maximum indicated on the card. We are also able to accept payment by Visa/Mastercard credit cards. Cash is also accepted! There are 'reserves' on various lots in the auction: if the bidding fails to reach the reserve amount the item will be withdrawn. We are again providing a guide price for those lots where such a figure is above £10. These appear in red at the end of the item’s description. The lower figure of the range shown is not less than the reserve price of the lot and may be higher. There is no buyer’s premium; the final bid is what you pay. Bids can be accepted in advance, please send them to: Bill Austin, 18 Malden Road, Watford, WD17 4EW, by phone: 07789 900411, or by e-mail to [email protected]. On the day, bids can be left with Bill or via the mobile number.

  • Real Ale Experience a Guide to Some of the Much Loved Real Ale Pubs in North Shields and Tynemouth
    Real Ale Experience A guide to some of the much loved real ale pubs in North Shields and Tynemouth EDUCATION AND CULTURAL SERVICES Real Ale Experie With traditional pubs offering unrivalled hospitality, each with their own intriguing stories to tell, the Real Ale Experience is a trip for the connoisseur of beers and those who enjoy their inns and taverns with character. The town centre pubs, bustling with charm, have been a focal point of North Shields for centuries, playing a role in the development of the town. Tynemouth has a mix of old and new pubs, providing a fine choice of venues and The Fish Quay, the traditional trading and commercial heart of the town, offers a unique experience where the locals are larger than life and seem more like characters from a seafaring novel. So…prepare to taste the experience for yourself. The Magnesia Bank Camden Street, North Shields The Magnesia Bank stands high on the bank side overlooking the nce historic fish quay and it is worth pausing at the railings at the bottom of Howard Street and enjoying the views of the river before imbibing. The building to the right, marked with a blue plaque, is Maritime Chambers, once the home of the Stag Line and, before that, the Tynemouth Literary and Philosophical Society’s library. The pub itself, originally a Georgian commercial bank, opened in 1989 and quickly established a reputation as a real ale pub, a reputation certainly justified in the number of awards it has won. The pub has developed a worldwide standing for its real ales and proudly serves cask ales in the best condition, a fact acknowledged by the many awards received from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

  • Campaign for Real Ale (SW London & SW19/Morden)
    From: Campaign for Real Ale (SW London & SW19/Morden) Subject: Pubs Protection Policy revision: observations My observations thus In Draft and still under consideration. CAMRA has been asked to comment on the revised policy. This supersedes UDP Policy L16 which is less stringent than that given below. Key improvements over L16 include an extension in the time an A4 Public House must be marketed for that purpose from 2 years to 2.5 years. There is additional requirement that alternative and equivalent provision must be within 800m which we disagree with. This compares unfavourably in any case with Lambeth's 400m alternative provision requirement, and we contend that in order for proper diversity to survive, it should be removed.. Parts of the policy require strengthening, particularly proper definitions on the terminology and evidence on which such things as 'marketing', 'alternative and equivalent', 'viability' and 'to the council's satisfaction' are based. “Sites and Policies DPD | Centres, Retail and Other Town Centre Type Uses: Part 1 – 21 DM R5: Food and Drink Uses / Leisure and Entertainment a) Food and Drink Uses i. Planning permission will be granted for restaurants and cafes (A3 Use Class), public houses (A4 Use Class), hot food take-aways (A5 Use Class), leisure and entertainments uses (D2 Use Class) provided all of the following criteria have been met: [remaining text edited as it relates to the consenting of new applications for these uses and not against the loss thereof] b) Protection of Public Houses i. Planning permission will not be granted where this results in the loss of a public house except where the applicant can demonstrate to the council’s satisfaction that the public house is no longer economically viable through full and proper marketing; there are alternative public houses facilities located within the local area.

  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

This ended a long history as one of the village’s original beer shops, later developing into a public house, which played such an important and interesting role in the development, character and life of the village. This photograph was taken from the Auction Sale Brochure. Lacey Green is not mentioned in the Domesday Book like some other villages in the area, so it cannot claim to be an ancient settlement.

  • Performativity, Gender, Class and Representations of Authenticity in Real-Ale Tourism
    View metadata, citation and similarbrought COREpapers to youat core.ac.ukby provided by Leeds Beckett Repository ‘Mine’s a Pint of Bitter’: Performativity, Gender, Class and Representations of Authenticity in Real-Ale Tourism Karl Spracklen, Jon Laurencic and Alex Kenyon Abstract Leisure choices are expressive of individual agency around the maintenance of taste, boundaries, identity and community. This research paper is part of a wider project designed to assess the social and cultural value of real ale to tourism in the north of England. This paper explores the performativity of real-ale tourism and debates about belonging in northern English real-ale communities. The research combines an ethnographic case study of a real-ale festival with semi-structured interviews with organisers and volunteers, northern English real-ale brewers and real-ale tourists visiting the festival. It is argued that real-ale tourism, despite its origins in the logic of capitalism, becomes a space where people can perform Habermasian, communicative leisure, and despite the contradictions of preferring some capitalist industries over others on the basis of their perceived smaller size and older age, real-ale fans demonstrate agency in their performativity. Key words authenticity, class, gender, Habermas, leisure, performativity, real ale, spatiality, tourists 8997 words, including references Introduction Walking into this area was quite an impressive sight. The room was at least 150 feet long and 40 feet across. The right hand side of the venue was lined with 60 casks on industrial steel shelving.

  • CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, Campaigns to Promote the Social, Community and Public Health Benefits of Well-Run Pubs
    EEFW/S5/20/TP/22 ECONOMY, ENERGY AND FAIR WORK COMMITTEE TIED PUBS (SCOTLAND) BILL SUBMISSION FROM CAMRA About CAMRA Thank you for providing the opportunity to submit our views on the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Bill. CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, campaigns to promote the social, community and public health benefits of well-run pubs. We have nearly 190,000 members across the UK and 4800 members in Scotland. In our submission, we outline our position regarding how the current voluntary arrangements governing the relationships between tied tenants and pub-owning businesses in Scotland are not fit for purpose, and why the proposals in the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Bill would be beneficial to tied pub tenants and consumers. We have taken each consultation question in turn below. What are your views on the Bill overall? Do you think legislation in this area is necessary? Many pubs in Scotland are struggling because pub companies are taking more than is fair or sustainable from the profits of their tied tenants. Tied tenants are required to buy the beer they sell from their pub company rather than on the open market, and are often paying above market value in rent on their pubs. This means that licensees can pay over 50% more for beer than they would on the open market. This is compounded by the fact that they are often paying above market value for rents. As a result, many licensees are struggling to make a living, contributing to the rate of pub closures in Scotland. An accepted principle of a tied pub agreement is that a licensee will pay a higher price for beer than on the open market but will also receive business support and a lower rent from their pub company.

  • SC Pub Selection Process=D2-14Mar20
    Campaign for Real Ale Stroud CAMRA GBG Selection Process-Proposal D2 So how do pubs get selected for the Good Beer Guide? Stroud CAMRA has worked for many years to try and refine the selection process to ensure that it is fair and free of bias. You will be pleased to know that selection is not the result of one visit, rather three visits through the year. Each review is carried out using two reviewers minimum and different reviewers perform each of the three reviews. The review centres on the quality of the cask beer with all cask beers on the bar scored 1 to 5 as follows: 1. Poor. Beer that is anything from barely drinkable to drinkable with considerable resentment. 2. Average. Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn’t inspire in any way, not worth moving to another pub but you drink the beer without really noticing. 3. Good. Good beer in good form. You may cancel plans to move to the next pub. You want to stay for another pint and may seek out the beer again. 4. Very Good. Excellent beer in excellent condition. 5. Perfect. Probably the best you are ever likely to find. A seasoned drinker will award this score very rarely. Stroud CAMRA also measures the temperature that the beer is served at. Cask beers should be served at cellar temperature, which is defined as 11-13°C. Stroud CAMRA elects to use the Cask Marque recommendation of 10-14°C allowing the publican some leeway on this. Marks are deducted for beer above or below the Cask Marque recommended temperature.
