About Us
Welcome to the website of the Mansfield and Ashfield branch of CAMRA.
We currently have 601 members.
After re-forming a committee in 2022, we have been busy re-establishing a fully working branch. We hold a monthly branch meeting, which anyone is welcome to attend; the AGM is held in July. Social trips are also held monthly, alternating in-branch, out-of-branch and beer festivals. We are always looking for more volunteers and hope to see you at future branch meetings and events.
