I have never thought about Wetherspoons like you have said that is a very interesting idea!! I am fully in agreement that more people should get involved with CAMRA in influencing policy decisions and where it is going and indeed in voting for the Chairman!!LordoftheBeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935659264607688978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-34189523837014638052011-05-30T04:51:39.586-07:002011-05-30T04:51:39.586-07:00I know I can't spell Wetherspoons...

But just a few t...Love the first post of your blog. But just a few things, to the people who have already commented as well as to you:<br /><br />1. Whetherspoons is just another pub chain. Not one in you're top 10 pubs? How many of your top 10 are Enterprise/Punch pubs? They own more pubs than 'Spoons and they have stupid rules about how their pubs buy ale. No-one has an issue with these chains. The only problem 'Spoons have is the fact they openly advertise that they are a chain. Stop looking at them as a chain and look at their pubs as individuals as you would with Enterprise pubs!!!<br /><br />2. If you believe in 90% or what CAMRA do but then get annoyed about the other 10% don't run away. What's the point of leaving the organisation when they upset you. Grow some and join the debate. I am an active Member of Leeds CAMRA. I go to all the socials and meetings, I went to my first AGM this year and loved it. I disagree highly about the way CAMRA treat their Young members but instead of throwing my toys out of the pram and refusing to play I am making my feeings known whenever I have the chance at a local/regional/national meeting. If you have issues with CAMRA get involved rather than sitting there complaining!<br /><br />Not having a go. I am just pointing out some things that irk me. It's hard to convey emotion over a computer screen! I will definitely be looking at your next post. Will also let the YM's in Leeds about it... It will make some good convo at socials!<br /><br />KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08888598255248541698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-85517739749386210292011-05-29T22:33:55.347-07:002011-05-29T22:33:55.347-07:00Have you been taught the handshake yet?Have you been taught the handshake yet?Beeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657819837673241949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-79954101930856576252011-05-29T10:14:50.163-07:002011-05-29T10:14:50.163-07:00Thank you Arn - are you sure you're allowed to...Thank you Arn - are you sure you're allowed to use that word..........!!LordoftheBeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935659264607688978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-25134357487022651042011-05-29T10:10:49.375-07:002011-05-29T10:10:49.375-07:00Welcome to the bloggerarti! ;)Welcome to the bloggerarti! ;)arnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046512935179787759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-62621083976780093162011-05-29T08:45:03.743-07:002011-05-29T08:45:03.743-07:00Tandleman - many thanks, you can't beat a good...Tandleman - many thanks, you can't beat a good debate......LordoftheBeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935659264607688978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-36620967597344866802011-05-29T04:52:38.130-07:002011-05-29T04:52:38.130-07:00I think you and I will agree and disagree.

If your coming to Leeds this week you must visit North Bar who are holding a Buxton Brewery event this coming Thursday and Mr Foleys always has some good beers on. If you are into live music as well as real ale the duck & Drake is not to be missed. Slightly further out of the city centre but walkable is the Hop (owned by Ossett Brewery), Grove (a CAMRA real ale pub) and Fox & Newt (on site microbrewery).LordoftheBeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935659264607688978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6459223413631082316.post-29854726683959956932011-05-28T13:38:17.775-07:002011-05-28T13:38:17.775-07:00Good first post, looking foreward to more.

Thats not how they sell themselves to their thousands of members. If they progress with cask vs anything else in the future I will be leaving and I will be highlighting them as an oraganisation who is not helping craft beer sales.<br /><br />I worry about the current direction of the organisation. As for whetherspoons....maybe its best I dont start.Michael Ironsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644862301737667329noreply@blogger.com
