If you're a CAMRA Durham member and haven't yet nominated any pubs for Pub of the Year, Club of the Year or Cider Pub of the Year, you now have extra time to do so - the nominations deadline has been extended to January 26th.

To take part, please email your nominations to the Secretary. You can nominate up to two pubs, up to two clubs and up to two cider pubs.

It's that time of year again - CAMRA members have until the end of this year to nominate their favourite beers for next year's Champion Beer of Britain and Champion Winter Beer of Britain contests.

To cast your vote, go to www.cbobvoting.org.uk and log in using your CAMRA login details. You can then select up to five beers for each category using the lists provided. There are eleven categories, and you can vote in as many or as few as you wish.

At the end of September CAMRA launched WhatPub, its own online guide to the pubs of the UK, to the general public. It contains information of in excess of 35,000 pubs which serve real ale in the UK, which it believes represents about 96% of the total.
