We’d been really looking forward to hosting CAMRA’s national members weekend here in Sheffield in 2021, which is also CAMRA’s 50th birthday, this would have seen over a thousand beer tourists come to enjoy Sheffield’s beer scene as well as participate in debates to help direct CAMRA’s campaigning policy.
Sadly with the ongoing uncertainty with Coronavirus, the event at Sheffield City Hall is now cancelled with the AGM and Conference now to take place online instead. Members can register to participate online at camra.org.uk.
As soon as circumstances allow we will resume normal branch activity with meetings, award presentations, surveys, socials, beer tastings, brewery trips etc and we will also be focused on organising the 2021 Steel City Beer & Cider Festival which will hopefully take place in October at Kelham Island Museum after being unable to put on a 2020 event.
thanks to everyone who has taken part in planning for this event – we have the best MW logo (ever), draft beer orders, articles for What’s Brewing, lots of photos and a mega spreadsheet! – we hope it is possible for Sheffield to host in the near future – our pre-planning will then be used!
Hope everyone has a good new year – be difficult to get much worse than this one!
