MEMBERS’ WEEKEND IN SHEFFIELD 2023
Sheffield & District CAMRA is proud to be hosting the national Members’ Weekend, AGM & Conference from 21 to 23 April 2023 at the Octagon Centre, on the University of Sheffield campus.
The AGM is where, in addition to the mandatory business of an Annual General Meeting (AGM), CAMRA’s volunteer National Executive is elected: and Conference is where campaigning policy is democratically formed and updated by members via debate and voting. Also featured are award presentations and fringe activities. All members are welcome to attend, you can register online at: camra.org.uk/members-weekend-agmconference

We will also be running a Members’ Bar at the venue. This is a small beer festival featuring beers from around our local area, open exclusively to CAMRA members that have registered for the event.
Over 1,000 CAMRA members are expected to register and visit our area as “Beer Tourists”, many coming for the social side more than the actual conference and looking forward to exploring the pubs, brewery tap rooms and more around Sheffield and the neighbouring areas like Dronfield, Hope Valley, Rotherham and Barnsley. We’ll be talking to many of our local brewers to put on an open day where you can visit and enjoy a beer in the company of the brewers, learning a bit more about their set up!
To help make this an amazing Members’ Weekend we need a team of volunteers to help. Roles include meeting and greeting at the venue, working the Members’ Bar, and Ushering.
We’re also seeking local ambassadors helping with information both at the venue and on brewery visits. Help with setting up the venue before the event and packing it all away after will also be appreciated.
For neighbouring towns like Dronfield this a great opportunity to promote the local pubs and breweries and encourage visitors to take a bus or train ride down from Sheffield to explore.
We’ll have articles on our website and in the Members Weekend handbook encouraging visitors to explore the area so do let us know if anything special is happening in the town!
