We campaign for greater appreciation of traditional beers, ciders and perries as part of our national heritage and culture. There are over 100,000 members in the organisation. Find out more about CAMRA on the national website: www.CAMRA.org.uk We are the North Hampshire branch of CAMRA, which is part of the Wessex CAMRA region. The branch is run by volunteers that are elected by branch members. Our campaigning centres on the district surrounding the towns of Basingstoke and Andover.   We enjoy an active social and campaigning diary, with regular visits to pubs, breweries and beer festivals throughout Hampshire and the neighbouring counties. You will find an up-to-date branch diary on these pages. Leave your email address and we will let you know of forthcoming social events as they are planned so you do not miss a night out! The role of the rural British pub as a cohesive centre of its community has never been more important than it is today, and yet a record number have ceased to trade in recent years. Here in North Hampshire, we have actively campaigned over the years for greater protection for public houses. Please visit our Campaigns page to find out more about the local and national issues that we have been involved with.       We hold popular Beer Festivals in our area including the Hampshire Downs Beer Festival in Overton. We also reward the pubs and clubs in our area that are judged to maintain excellent standards of beer, with Awards of Merit and the North Hampshire CAMRA Pub of the Year award.   If you would like to join us in protecting our traditional ales, ciders and perries by campaigning and staffing our beer festivals, why not become a member of CAMRA today?       ... promote quality, choice and value for money ... protect and improve consumer rights ... support the publice house as a focus of communty life     Neighbouring Branches   Please click elsewhere on the map to visit one of our neighbouring branch websites - South Hampshire CAMRA, Portsmouth & SE Hampshire CAMRA and Surrey/Hants Borders CAMRA.       Contributions and opinions expressed in these pages are those of various individuals, they do not necessarily reflect the views of the Campaign for Real Ale either locally or nationally.
