"We'll find a pub for you"

National Pubs Week 2004 Press Release


CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, is running its second National Pubs Week from 21st to 28th February. The aims of Pubs Week are to celebrate British pubs and to encourage more people to visit pubs.

The theme for this year's Pubs Week is "There's a Pub For You". Britain is blessed with an incredible variety of pubs and CAMRA is convinced that, for nearly everyone, there are pubs which suit their own personal tastes.

A problem of course is finding where those pubs are and this is where CAMRA can help. The Cambridge CAMRA Branch is setting up a pub-finding service for people living in its area.

Paul Ainsworth, Branch Pubs Officer, said "In the course of our campaigning activities, we're obliged to visit all the pubs in our area (tough job etc) and so have built up an encyclopaedic knowledge of the local pub stock. We're offering to share that knowledge with anyone who is looking for a particular kind of pub but having trouble finding it."

Mr Ainsworth said "If people want to tell me what they're looking for in a local pub then I'll do my best to match their requirements to one or more of the excellent hostelries we have in our area."

Mr Ainsworth concluded by saying "Our hope is that this initiative will help ensure that more people visit more of our local pubs more often. The British pub is a wonderful institution and we want to see as many people as possible enjoying it."
