The News and Ale Spring edition has now been published and is currently being distributed to the usual pubs and clubs (online link below).

The current economic conditions are very difficult for the pub trade. In Pub Clips you will read about three places where the people running the establishments have decided to call it a day. The Happy Man at Englefield Green was the North Surrey 2026 pub of the Year so it is a huge loss to that CAMRA branch. The micro pub Growlers and Cans is another sad loss for the Surrey/Hants Borders branch of CAMRA. CAMRA has been lobbying the Government to help the pub trade and the campaigning article in this magazine reveals some help the government is going to give to the pub trade.

In this issue you can also read about the adventures of the Beery Boaters on the UK canals. They have biannual trips and will welcome new crew members.

The edition can also be viewed online.
