CAMRA members' weekend, including the National Annual General Meeting, is where our members discuss our future policy and direction. The weekend also offers the opportunity to members to socialise with friends, visit recommended pubs and go on organised trips.
The AGM is open to all CAMRA members and will be held at Eastbourne's Winter Garden from the 17th to 19th April 2009. If you have never been along to a Members' Weekend and AGM before, why not make this your first one.
