CAMRA is divided across the whole of the UK into Regions; these Regions are then split up into individual Branches. Barnsley Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is in the Yorkshire Region, within the administrative county of South Yorkshire, and is one of four branches in that area. Barnsley's Membership currently stands at just over 300 members.
The aim of the Barnsley CAMRA website is to give the reader information on the activities of Barnsley CAMRA as well as news on beer, pubs and events in our area. We hold regular Branch meetings, trips to pubs and breweries and other social events. We are part of a national organisation that aims to promote real ale and cider, as well as preserve the traditional British Pub. Nationally, the campaign has over 98,500 members and is growing month on month. Click on the CAMRA logo on the top right-hand-side to find out more information on the organisation nationally.

shtml?
While you browse the site you may notice that our pages end with the shtml extension as well as php instead of the more familiar html or htm. The editor has opted to use Server Side Includes (SSI). If used properly, the SSI can help make pages more responsive and as is the best for a volunteer run site, can even help make maintaining the site an easier task.
