Scunthorpe and District
We are a small and friendly local branch of CAMRA,
a national consumer organisation which campaigns on behalf of UK drinkers on subjects such as choice,
value for money, good beer and good pubs.
We have regular meetings in local pubs, plus a programme of social activities such as
visits to beer festivals and breweries. CAMRA members and prospective members are welcome
to attend our meetings and socials.
Details can be found here on the website, in the members' newspaper, 'What's Brewing',
or the branch newsletter, 'Iron Brew'; the latter is free and distributed to many
real ale pubs in our area on a quarterly basis and can be downloaded.
Please visit our Campaigning page for more details of causes supported by the branch
or click here to see all CAMRA's latest causes.
2010 Events
Pub of the Season, The Horn Inn Messingham
The Winter Pub of the Season Presentation was awarded to Dean & Michelle Swaby
who took over at the Horn Inn in Messingham in August last year where this popular village local is fast improving.
A very good selection of beer was to be had, some from from breweries not too far afield including Wold Top and also
Kelham Island, soon to be visited by the branch.
For further details see the Pub of the Season page.
There was an excellent tun out from members who have provided great support for the branch
and its events already this year depite being utterly incapable of grouping themselves for a photo.
National Winter Ales Festival
The branch kicked off 2010 with a trip to the National Winter Ales Festival in Manchester enjoying the
selection of beers on offer and the new venue.
