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:-

  • Branch Social to Leeds Thursday 23 January 2025 19:00 Scarbrough Hotel

    Social to Leeds city centre where there is a huge choice of venues, probably more than there have been for decades.
    We chose Leeds on this occasion as transport is quite good from most of the branch area, easier indeed for many people than it is for such as Cleckheaton and Mirfield!
    Starting point is the Scarbrough, close to the railway station, then the nearby Head of Steam, Tapped, Banker's Cat and Whitelock's are on the cards.

  • February Branch Meeting Monday 17 February 2025 19:00 Black Bull

    Meeting includes selection of pubs and clubs to go into the next Good Beer Guide. Branch members may vote in person or by proxy - forms may be downloaded from the Members' Area of this website in February.
