One & Ale Newsletter

One & Ale has been our branch newsletter for many years. Unfortunately, the COVID restrictions prevented a printed form of One & Ale from being produced. Apart from readers being unable to visit pubs during the lockdowns, pubs were unwilling to take magazines for some time afterwards due to the potential of spreading the disease by multiple handling.

For a time, we published a shortened version of One & Ale on this website. Due to lack of copy to put in it, in turn due to the reduced activity of members getting out and about and other sources of articles, this alternative finished in the summer of 2021.

CAMRA newsletters have to pay for themselves by carrying advertising. This worked well up to spring 2020 but since the COVID restrictions were completely removed we have also been unable to recruit a volunteer Advertising Coordinator. With no income to cover printing costs we have been unable to resume a printed magazine. Since 2021 due to the cost of living crisis, printing costs have risen significantly. We hope to be able to resume One & Ale in some form in the future.
