NOTICE is hereby given that the Annual General Meeting of CAMRA Durham Branch will be held on Wednesday 8th, April 2026 at 19:30 at The Station House Durham. Please view the agenda below.

Any member wishing to volunteer for any of the roles listed in the agenda can put their names forward in advance to me, secretary@camradurham.org.uk or in person at the meeting. All positions are subject to a vote. Members can also ask for topics to be included in AOB but they must be received by 17:00 6th April 2026.

For everyone to continue to benefit from being a member of CAMRA, it is important to remember that for the organisation to be successful, it must have an energetic, dynamic and thriving committee. I urge you to think seriously about volunteering for a role within the Durham Branch. If you are hesitant to just jump in, you may want to assist or just try it for a little while. The commitment can be as much or little as you want. It's worth volunteering to find out what we all do. It can be occasionally challenging, but it's always fun.
