CMIC has grown into what is probably the largest investment club in the UK (with c3100 members and assets roughly valued at £16m) alongside, but in no way to be confused with, the largest consumers’ campaign group in the UK. Let there be no confusion: there are no Campaign monies involved in the Club! The investments are owned by the Club’s 3100 members and nobody else. The Club is, of course, sympathetic with the broader Campaign. It was born out of the Campaign. When asked by the National Executive to amend its name in order not to cause any confusion with the Campaign’s bid for super-complainant status it did so readily. It is a pre-requisite of Club membership that applicants have to be Campaign members: should they leave the Campaign they automatically relinquish Club membership. The Club is run democratically but in accordance with finance industry best practice. It has no full-time officers but is managed by a Committee of twelve who are elected by the Club’s membership on a rotating basis. The Committee do not receive fees or expenses.

  • Brewing Beer from Cereals Relies on a Variety of Biological, Chemical, and Physical Processes Michael Freemantle
    Chemical & Engineering News: Science & Technology - What's That Stu... 页码,1/4 Science & Technology April 3, 2006 Volume 84, Number 14 p. 39 WHAT'S THAT STUFF? Beer Brewing beer from cereals relies on a variety of biological, chemical, and physical processes Michael Freemantle Photo By Linda Wang In C&EN circles, "pubs" means publications. But where I was brought up, in Southampton, England, "pubs" meant one thing and one thing only: public houses. In those days, pubs were places where people—mainly men—quaffed beer or other alcoholic drinks, socialized, and played games such as darts, dominoes, cribbage, and shove-halfpenny. Every village and neighborhood seemed to have at least one pub. Nowadays, most pubs in England offer "pub http://pubs.acs.org/cen/whatstuff/84/8414beer.html 2006-4-4 Chemical & Engineering News: Science & Technology - What's That Stu... 页码,2/4 grub" in addition to a range of drinks. Many have become restaurants, the best being so-called gastropubs. Even so, there's still a strong association in British culture between pubs and beer. I must confess: I did not enjoy my first pint of beer. It had a bitter flavor and I could not understand its appeal. However, as the years passed, and with some encouragement from friends, I sampled many of the numerous varieties of beer that are brewed in England. I gradually acquired a taste for "bitter," a type of ale that is served at a relatively warm temperature compared with lagers and is still immensely popular in the country. Beer, of course, is not just for Britons.
