I was recently drinking in a very fine real ale pub in Maidstone, where the landlord informed me that he didn't want to be in GBG as he would 'have to give CAMRA members a 10% discount'. He claims this is what he has been told by a CAMRA member who showed him his membership card. Having done a few reviews for GBG myself, I am sure this is complete nonsense. I wrote to CAMRA head office to ask about this but have had no reply.
Has anyone else heard of this kind of nonsense before, or has CAMRA taken things a step too far? Maybe it's just a rogue member? Anyone from Maidstone care to comment?
