CAMRA pub of the year

[rpadam]

In the Darent Valley, you will find The Bull (at Horton Kirby, to be precise) - approx 25 minutes walk from Farningham Road station. And that's a pub which I would recommend to absolutely anybody!

Quite so!

If the Bull doesn't make to the finals of next years PotY, my opinion of CAMRA will be somewhat diminished, I have to say.

I should have realised it won the local CAMRA PotY 2009 - I was there the night they were celebrating the award! D'oh. Strangely enough I used the pub more regularly 20 years ago when we used to play them at darts. It was a bog standard pub then. Now it is worthy of special praise and I rarely manage to get there.

or even local pubs to attract people to publicise their activities and get more people to become involved and have a say.

I was a member of CAMRA years ago, but my involvement came to nought, I'm not much of a joiner and even less of a joiner-in, my fault, not CAMRA's. Nowadays, I'm afraid, it smacks too much of a 'one issue' lobbyist movement to attract me back.
That said, I usually, apart from this forum and the MA, only come across it via monthly newsletters left in pubs and they often give me a fresh slant on pubs and beer in my area. In that respect some local branches are doing exactly as you suggest, Mr B.
While I do not support the political aims of organisations such as CAMRA, I understand the frustration that motivates them, and recognise the effort that CAMRA has put into forwarding what I have to accept is a hobby.
Mrs 'rd' calls it an obsession, now and then she gets quite rude about it.
After that little lot I feel it's time to lift a Sneck.

It's good, but not THAT good.

It is. Oh it so is...
