The branch has been busy since the last newsletter; a very good meal at the Bon Accord set members up for Christmas. A visit in January to the Russian Tavern to present The Scottish Pub of the Year award was enjoyed by all and we were also able to check the Arran Blonde in The Black Bull, Rothesay. Successive Fridays in February saw us road-testing pub-crawls (on our website) devised for visiting members at the upcoming Members Weekend. In general the beer was good but occasionally none was available (on a Friday night!?). I am relatively new to the area and was pleased to visit several pubs that I had not heard about. We also had a social to The Royal Bar in Innellan, which has just changed hands. Members have also completed surveys for possible insertion in the 2006 Good Beer Guide., there are changes and we want all our outlets to provide good ale but we haven't reached nirvana yet.

OUR WEBSITE
www.glasgowcamra.org.uk/
This site, lovingly crafted by our Webmaster, Tom Ord, is full of information about the pubs in our area with links to maps, transport services etc. There is a 'What's On' page and reports about recent Real Ale related functions that some of us have been to. There is an email link where information about Real Ale matters in our area can be posted. This is the best place to get up to date news.

Members' Weekend 2005 (including National AGM and Conference) 22-24th April
John Anderson Campus, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow
Members Bar: Scottish Carnival Arts Centre, 34 Albion Street, G1 1lH
This prestigious event is being held in Glasgow this year and a group of members have been working very hard with planning for this event both in the business and social sense. Details of what is happening and the venue can be found on our website. This event is a great way to promote Real Ale in Glasgow and Scotland and to show CAMRA that the Glasgow Branch is a force to be reckoned with.
