- Time for a FAQ ???
- CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale was formed 21 years ago in the UK to
- protect the rapidly disappearing cask ales from a tide of bland keg
- beers which were being foisted on the public by the large breweries.
- It was fantastically successful (the most successful consumer movement
- in Europe) and now addresses other issues such as licensing law and
- protecting the British pub. It has now formed alliances with similar
- organisations througout Europe to deal with impending Europe issues.
- There are branches of CAMRA in several countries (eg Canada).
- As to Australia, I think there is a local organisation - will check it
- out during the break. However, you can get further details from the
- UK HQ at 34 Alma Road, St Albans, Herts AL1 3BW, UK.
- Cheers,
- Mark (CAMRA Regional Director)
