Christine, one of the reasons I no longer attend GBBF is that it has become a cynical money making / publicity generating event. I always assumed that local BFs were essentially non profit making occasions. Of course, the costs of the event must be covered, but do you really think BF attendees should be ripped off to provide funds for central CAMRA expenditure of questionable value? Nobody asked me if the beer heads campaign was sensible, still less the painfully naff Ninkasi campaign :-(

Sounds terribly naive to me - how many effective campaigning organisations are there that exist without money and publicity? On the whole I don't think anyone was ripped off at GBBF. Yes there were some over-priced beers on sale but they were well signed and I simply purchased others.

You miss the point about Ninkasi. Of course it was naff - it was meant to be. The point was it got plenty of coverage in the national press and raised CAMRAs profile especially with younger people. The point about advertising and promotions are that they need to change to attract different audiences. "Safe" advertising that offends no-one is like bland beer - no one notices it.

So, you're voting for a doubling of the membership fee this coming year and another large increase the year after then?
