CAMRA Forum

CAMRA has recently set up a web forum here. However, it has not been widely publicised, and so far has seen relatively little activity. It was founded on 10 December 2008 and so far only has 450 posts and 175 members. It also seems oddly restricted in its scope, with sections for “Save our Pubs”, “Beer Festivals” and “CAMRA Publications”, but nothing else. Whatever happened, for example, to CAMRA’s alleged campaign about reinforcing the rights of adults to enjoy alcohol responsibly? However, interestingly, it is open to non-members. I do wonder, though, how long it will be before it descends into acrimony, especially over the issue of the smoking ban.
