Foreign Bottled Beers

Charity of the Festival

Every year Croydon & Sutton CAMRA choose a charity which operates locally to be our Charity of the Festival. It can be a small charity which only works locally or a large charity so long as they work in Croydon and/or Sutton boroughs.

We invite charities to bid to be Charity of the Festival and this year we want your help to get the word out. If you work for, volunteer for, have family connections to, or just support a qualifying charity which you believe could benefit from three days exposure to over 2000 members of the public and raise (based on figures from the last three years) an average of over £1000 then you need download, print, and get the attached form to them.

Bids not using the attached form will not be considered. The choice of Charity of the Festival 2011 will be made by secret ballot of all members attending the first branch meeting following the bid deadline (29 July at noon). Should you have any further questions, please email me with Charity of the Festival as the subject line of your email.

Note to branch members about mailings

Owing to the increasing size of our branch membership, now over 1300, we have outsourced the stuffing and sending out of our letter to members regarding the beer festival to the London Borough of Merton. It is a service they provide, at a charge, utilising equipment that would otherwise be sitting idle.

Over the last couple of years we have received some negative comments from members regarding this. So I would therefore urge you to think before you contact us to complain about the waste of council-tax payer's money in Merton or abuse of work facilities.
Our mailings are using a quite legitimate service!!
Unless of course other members would care to become more active and help stuff and stamp 1300 letters every year........
