The Cornwall Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale, CAMRA Kernow, has changed the way Pub of the Year will be selected From now on ( to give maximum publicity and campaigning opportunities) we will award a “Pub of the season” each quarter i.e. spring, summer, autumn and winter. Throughout each season Cornwall CAMRA members will be able to nominate candidates with the winner idecided by a vote at a branch meeting. We try to judge pubs based on scoring criteria including Quality of real ale/cider Style/décor/furnishings/cleanliness Service/welcome/offering Community focus and atmosphere Alignment with CAMRA principles At year end the 4 winners will go forward for judging as Cornwall pub of the year as recently won by the ‘front in Falmouth (many thanks for all the great coverage!) At this stage we are delighted to announce that our first seasonal winner for pub of the summer is THE DRIFTWOOD SPARS at Trevaunance Cove which won the vote at a recent branch meeting ahead of 12 other nominees. We will be presenting the Spars with its award at the pub on Friday 15th September and you are welcome to join us (1200 for 1230) Please let me know if you would like further information Cheers Russ
