Young Members
The
younger members coordinator until recently was
Sam Hyde.
His job was to promote CAMRA to
under 30s
in Liverpool. This involves organising events and promoting
branch activities that are already occurring. Sam is very
keen to get local Liverpool U30s involved in CAMRA, as well
as students who choose Liverpool for their education.
Remember that non-members and the over 30s can get involved
in events as well and are always warmly welcomed. Sam did a
great job but has recently had to step down from this role.
We are therefore looking for a new young persons
co-ordinator, fancy it?

Young
Members Group Committee Meeting

Saturday

The
Young Members Group Committee (YMGC) hold 4 meetings a

you'd like us to do in the future.
This was the first time that we will held a YMGC Meeting in
CAMRAs Merseyside, Cheshire & North Wales Region and
will not be holding
another one in that Region until 2011. The YMGC Meetings
are open to all CAMRA Members.
The pub-crawl of Liverpool left the meeting venue at 4.30pm

Young
Members Pub-Crawl of Liverpool
-
Saturday
7th July,
Leave the
Ship & Mitre.
The Young Members Group Committee (YMGC) hold four meetings
a year and have a pub-crawl of the local city after each
one. These pub-crawls are open to members and non-members
and leave the meeting venue at 4.30pm prompt.
The pubs we visit on these pub-crawls are traditionally
chosen by Young Members in the Region who contact the local
Branch Young Members
Contact (BYMC), with a list of their favourite Real Ale
pubs in the city. The BYMC will then plot a route that
encompases as many of those pubs as is practical.
These pub-crawls have become a show-case of the best Real
Ale pubs that local Young Members would like to show off to
other Young Members from all over the UK.

youngpersons@merseycamra.org.uk.
