The new site/redesign looks great. The logo was controversial, but it's fresh, modern and well-needed. It's still relatively new, but I hope that it helps. Having tried to get friends to sign up, CAMRA just doesn't seem interesting enough to others my age, even if they do enjoy real ale.

Furthermore, I think having something like Beer Engine is 100% the right direction for CAMRA to be going in. I love having something in place to allow volunteers to contribute, it shouldn't be locked behind the knowledge of running a site.

I'd figured something like this was in place as there's standardised look across the sites. My post wasn't to punch down at local branches, more so to bring up the importance of keeping services like this fresh. There are so many others my age who wouldn't look twice at some of these pages. Shame.

My Christmas present to myself this year is a pair of Garstangs, went to their store in Manchester the other month and I’m totally sold.

Where can I buy one? Sounds lovely.

Manners cost nothing! Doesn’t hurt to say “May I” either…

That looks unreal!

I think this may be one of the nicest pieces of glassware I’ve ever seen.

Also yes, that is a bag of scampi fries in the back. I’m only human!

Yeah it sucks but that’s just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. It wouldn’t be so bad if public transport was a bit more reliable 😂

I’m paying £80 a week at the moment as my instructor only does double lessons. Never be so glad to have my test.

Ah mate I fear you’re missing out! I’ve convinced myself that they’re one of the few restaurants that are still A+ value for money currently.
