Branch meetings are open to all members and are very friendly. They are normally held on the evening of the first Tuesday in every month. We hold them in the same location, The Flying Horse, as the venue seems to be fairly easy for most members of the Branch to get to. The meetings are held in the upstairs function room at 7.30pm and are well attended (get there about 10 minutes early to secure your chair!). Everybody is made welcome and we discuss various beery (& cidery) things including any latest news about pubs in the Branch area and any beer festivals either in the Branch or in the vicinity. A free supper is normally provided when the meeting is finished, at about 9.30pm. There are normally 10 real ales and 2 real ciders on offer on the bar. A friendly meeting followed by a free supper and a few pints whilst enjoying the craic. Can't be bad!

If you are a ROB CAMRA member and have supplied a current e mail address, you will normally receive the Branch newsletter "CAMRA Calling" by email a few days before the meeting, which will contain the latest news and agenda for discussion.

You can also read previous monthly meeting minutes by signing in to the Members Area using your CAMRA membership number (less any 0's at the front) and your password, no spaces. This site is case sensitive!

Please come along, new attendees are always welcome.

Please see the Branch Diary for details of the next meeting.

CAMRA is divided into 16 regions across the UK – each headed up by an elected volunteer Regional Director, supported by other regional volunteers. Following a National review, our Greater Manchester Region has merged with West Pennines Region (consisting Lancashire, Cumbria and the Isle Of Man) to form a new North West Region, and Ralph Warrington was duly elected as Regional Director. There are 17 full Branches in this North West Region, plus a sub-branch (of Leigh, Atherton & Tyldesley) in Salford, and another sub-branch (of Solway) in Westmorland.

Our Branch resides in the Greater Manchester Area. For further information on activities in Greater Manchester Area, visit https://greatermanchester.camra.org.uk/.

Generally, every three months, representatives of the branches in the Greater Manchester Area meet to discuss area, regional and national issues. The elected Regional Director, Ralph Warrington, attends and meetings are rotated around the branches. The hosting branch chooses a suitable pub that has the space needed, and chairs the event. Meetings start at 1pm and run for two hours or so. After the meeting closes, there is often a tour of local pubs.

Like all CAMRA meetings any member can attend and these meetings can get quite lively! They are also very informative. An invitation to members of the National Executive means there is a different guest speaker each time. Area and Regional items are discussed and agreed - such as Pub, Club and Cider Pub of the Year contests, plus various beer festivals in the region and beyond.

Several ROB members play an important and key role, as well as providing many volunteer helpers and judges.
