Branch AGM

Following the 2026 AGM held on 14th March 2026, NO committee positions were filled.

This now means that the branch comes under the control of the West Midlands Regional Director and, working with past committee members, will contact ALL branch members to attend an EGM in an attempt to resolve the situation to enable the branch to continue.

If this cannot be achieved, the branch will be wound up.

Note to Nuneaton & Bedworth Members:
If you wish for the branch to continue, your attendance at the EGM is essential.

The time, date and venue for the EGM will be communicated nearer the date.

*** *** 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.
