April 2012 has been declared Community Pubs Month in a national initiative organised by CAMRA to champion the importance of local pubs. It's aim to encourage more people to appreciate their local pub, to increase the awareness of pubs as invaluable community assets, and encourage licensees to organise and promote events to attract further trade. It’s all about giving community pubs as much publicity as possible during these tough times.
On Monday April 2nd, Community Pubs Day will kick off the month. CAMRA is then encouraging pubs to lay on community events throughout the month.
The Branch Committee has assembled a list of favourite community pubs in the branch area who will receive before April a promotional pack of ideas for events and material to display. If your local is not on the list and you'd like it to receive a pack (whether as licensee or pub regular) or if you just want to know more about the event then visit www.communitypubsmonth.org.
