Welcome
A warm welcome to the website of Ayrshire & Wigtownshire CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale. Geographically, our branch is located in South West Scotland and covers an area of approximately 1600 square miles (4185 km²)
Currently, we have more than 630 members who are passionate about pub-going and real ale, while having fun at the same time. We are a very active branch with regular social activities and a successful festival which is held in early October each year. In addition, we publish a multi-award winning branch magazine called Full Pints with issues printed and distributed quarterly.
Please have a look around our website or better still come and join us in a pub for a beer or two.
What's On!
Face to Face Meetings Are Back
At long last, restrictions have been eased to the point where CAMRA members can once more gather together over a few pints and socialise. We particularly want to encourage those who have felt isolated over the past eighteen months to come and join in, make new friends and have a good old blether. Pubs and clubs have endured a particularly difficult time and as an organisation, we feel it is extremely important to lend them as much support as we can.
Champion Beer of Britain (CBOB)
