Welcome to the website for the Nuneaton & Bedworth branch of The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The branch area covers the CV10, CV11 & CV12 postcodes including the Wolvey area of LE10, and parts of CV7 covering Arley & Fillongley.
We currently have over 370 members, all with real ale at heart.
Branch meetings are usually held on the Second Tuesday of the month (check Branch Diary for details) at different pubs and clubs in our area, where we discuss both local and national issues.
All CAMRA members and non-members are welcome to join us at any of these gatherings.
We try to cover most of the area over the course of the year but are always open to new suggestions.

*** *** George Eliot Reopens *** ***
After closing suddenly in 2022, the George Eliot is ready to reopen its doors, now under the ownership of Birmingham based Valiant Pub Group. .
Luke Carroll, Operations Director at Valiant, said: “Our focus has been on making The George Eliot a comfortable community asset, it won’t be showing the live sport channels like Sky or TNT like it once did in the past.”
*** *** Handpull Hijack *** ***
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company – one of the world’s largest brewery conglomerates – has resorted to misleading consumers by hijacking the handpump to serve its “Fresh Ale” product. CMBC says this is “preserving the beloved hand pull ritual that delivers the traditional theatre of serve that ale is famed for”.
CAMRA believes consumers deserve better than CMBC play acting at serving cask – a product they claim to champion while closing breweries and removing cask lines from bars. Our handpump hijack campaign calls on brewers to be proud of all their whole range of beers by serving them in a way that won’t mislead their customers.
