The Rugby CAMRA branch is working with pubs in the area to promote Community pubs.
We are working with over 30 pubs in the area to plan activities such as quiz nights, games nights, food nights to involve the people who live in the community near the pub, these will be run during the week. Rugby CAMRA will also be organising activities during the week to visit local community pubs. Events will be promoted in the pubs with advertising material supplied by CAMRA and on our web site.
Why Community Pubs week?
It's a frightening reality that at least 26 pubs are closing in Britain each month and early indications of new research being carried out by CAMRA suggest that this figure could actually be significantly higher. Worse still, the majority of these pubs are not high street chain bars or theme pubs, but community pubs, recognised by most people these days, as important community amenities. The local pub, after all, is often the heart of the community.
CAMRA has successfully run National Pubs Week for four years in an attempt to convince more people to visit more pubs more of the time. CAMRA members across the country have worked hard to promote pub-going in response to the growth in home drinking. Despite low supermarket prices, nothing can match the British pub for its service and atmosphere.
In light of the increased threats to community pubs CAMRA is changing the focus of its week of action to help raise the profile and importance of pubs in the community and encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to use community pubs more.
Community Pubs Week will celebrate and promote all community pubs - not just village locals, but urban gems too.
