The first CAMRA event John can remember going to was the GBBF in Leeds in '89. His first Oxford one was the 2015 festival in the Town Hall. He didn't get around to joining until 2016 and his first meeting was January 2023. That almost makes him a newbie, but one who's done some research.

Steve also maintains the branch entries (203 real ale pubs and 100+ others) on CAMRA's pub database, WhatPub, and co-ordinates the branch Good Beer Guide entries; tries to keep the web site up to date, and is Staffing Officer for the annual Oxford CAMRA Beer & Cider Festival. If you have a general enquiry then use this.

Grahame is also the lead organiser of our annual Oxford CAMRA Beer and Cider Festival in the Town Hall.

The Oxford Drinker is the Branch magazine produced 4 times a year by branch members and distributed free in pubs and similar outlets (5,000 copies). Send news items or articles for inclusion to the editor. To advertise in the magazine contact advertising@oxford.camra.org.uk

CAMRA nationally runs a range of pub focused campaigns. In Oxford the one we have probably promoted most is LocALe, which is about offering beer from within 30 miles of the pub. If you would like to join in with LocAle or any other CAMRA pub campaign this is the contact.

CAMRA has no magic wand if a pub is under threat, but we do have some experience with the planning process and can help with publicity if there is a community group who can mobilise local support. It's never just CAMRA but locally a whole number of threatened pubs have been saved. As we know each pub is different and almost all of them worth saving. CAMRA nationally has a wealth of experience in this area and a lot of useful information and contacts that we can help you access. Do get in touch if you want to save your local.

Pete is organising some social events and trips away. If you are aware of anything we might like to go to let him know.

Post vacant at present.
