Amber Valley CAMRA - Valley View
Welcome to the area of the website dedicated to Amber Valley CAMRA.
We have recently become a full branch in our own right having previously been a sub-branch of Derby. We cover a wide area from South Wingfield to Turnditch to Horsley Woodhouse to Makeney, incorporating three main towns, Belper, Ripley and Alfreton.
We hold regular social surveys once a month with a view to reaching some of the more remote pubs, the purpose being to enjoy social drinking with a group of like-minded people and collect scores for the National Beer Scoring Survey (which helps decide which pubs are entered into the Good Beer Guide).
We also hold monthly branch meetings at different pubs in our area where we discuss pub news, what's happening in our area and things we can do to help promote real ale locally.
We are also very proud to run our own beer festival which, for the last 3 years, has been held in the grounds of Midland Railway Centre at Ripley. In January 2013 we will start our monthly Beer Festival meetings again and we encourage you to get involved in whatever capacity you are able to. We run it as volunteers and always appreciate your input or an extra pair of hands to share the workload.
All members are welcome to attend any of the meetings or events. As social surveys are done via minibus trip you need to book your place in advance by contacting our social secretary, Jane Wallis, details as below.
Please select an area to view from the sub menu at the top.
