CAMRA has been called "Europe's most successful consumer
organization" - but we still need your help. We are a
not-for-profit body run locally and nationally by elected unpaid
volunteers. CAMRA is completely independent of any commercial
interest, and relies totally on people like you for funds and
support. Help us stand up for the rights and choice of ordinary
drinkers - you can easily join CAMRA one of three
ways:
Join CAMRA today and receive £20 worth of JD Wetherspoon real ale vouchers for free!
JD Wetherspoon has kindly agreed to supply all new, renewing and life members £20 worth of JD Wetherspoon real ale vouchers as part of their CAMRA membership package!
This new benefit will only run for 12 months and is a 'thank you' from JD Wetherspoon to all our members and prospective members for their support in the past.
Members will have approximately a year to claim all of their vouchers, with the last person who benefits from this scheme joining or renewing their membership Saturday 31 October 2009.
The vouchers are split into 4 sheets of '50p off a pint units', with each sheet having a 3 month deadline. Only one 50p off a pint voucher can be used per visit.
There are two reasons for these conditions -
CAMRA promotes responsible drinking and if we supplied £20 worth of vouchers that could be used in one visit to the pub, then this could be seen not to support this policy.
This offer is obviously very generous from JD Wetherspoon and they feel this scheme will encourage people to visit a number of their fantastic pubs across the UK throughout the 12 month's of their CAMRA membership.
The idea of this added benefit is very simple and good fun. Put the vouchers in your wallet / purse and use them when you are near to a JD Wetherspoon pub and fancy a nice pint of cool real ale!
Please note that Life Members will also receive £20 worth of JD Wetherspoon vouchers in early 2009.
For less than the price of a pint a month you can become a member
of CAMRA, and receive the following benefits:
What's Brewing: A monthly colour newspaper
with beer and pub news, as well as up-to-date information about new
beers and breweries, take-overs, closures and campaigns.
The BAR: (Barnsley members only) A Bi-monthly newspaper with local Barnsley beer and pub news, as well as storys from local Barnsley drinkers. News on local beers and breweries as well as Away Ales - BAR-Fly and Hannah at the Hob - And campaigns.

around the country and reduced admission prices.

Active Campaigning: Have the chance to campaign

on many products, including CAMRA's best-selling, annual Good Beer
Guide. Visit the CAMRA Online Shop
