When does the local branch meet?

We usually meet monthly for an open branch meeting where we discuss current matters and decide such things as which pubs to nominate for the Good Beer Guide, which to award a Pub of the Season and/or Pub of the Year certificate to, all done democratically and as fairly as we can.
Other topics include beer festivals, pub preservation and local pub news, which is the main source of content for the news pages of our quarterly branch magazine, Real Ale Talk.

All 7pm unless otherwise stated:-

  • Pub of the Season presentation Thursday 16 July 2026 19:00 White Gate

    Presentation of the Spring Pub of the Season award
    The White Gate is an Old Mill pub which was recently transformed with a high quality refurbishment. The pub combines a quality dining experience with a welcoming traditional pub feel, with drinkers and their dogs well catered for. Two or three Old Mill beers are on handpull.

  • Branch Social, Gomersal Thursday 23 July 2026 19:00 Bulls Head

    Social starting at the West End, then the Bull's Head and perhaps the Wheatsheaf, all three being pubs of great character.
