Pub of
the Year
This is our top award and goes to the pub that we believe
has been consistently the best over the previous year. The
criteria for winning is not just for beer quality but for
other factors too - value for money, diversity of customers,
sympathy with CAMRA aims and community spirit for
example.
Our branch is quite unsual in having two Pub of the Year
awards. Straddling the border means we are allowed to have
both an English and a Welsh winner. These then go forward into
the voting for the Merseyside, Cheshire & North Wales
Regional Pub of the Year. The winners from each region then
progress into the national voting to decide the overall CAMRA
Pub of the Year.
We accept nominations for the award in the run up to the AGM
each April. Branch members can then vote for their favourite
either by email or in person at the AGM.

Pub of the Season
This prize is awarded on a quarterly basis, again decided by a vote within
the branch. Unlike the annual award there is no set criteria for a pub to
meet in order to win. It is awarded at the discretion of the branch
and several recipients have since gone on further to win our Pub of the Year
award

Club of the Year
This is run along the same lines as the Pub of the Year but is
for private clubs. We are only aware of a very small number of
clubs in our branch area
that offer real ales so do let us know if your favourite club
serves up a cracking pint of the good stuff.
