A note from the web team, at this moment in time our site does note display correctly in Netscape or Firefox, our apologies for this, we are working to fix these issues, however as running this site is purely a voluntary thing the fix could take some time to complete. Please bare with us. We assure you we are working to fix these issues as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

This is an urgent posting from CAMRA HQ responding to Public house SOS calls - Please visit www.saveourpubs.org.uk the NEW Campaign page on CAMRA's main site to see what you can do to help save our Pubs (your local) from closure.

You will still find the latest news about the branch, CAMRA and the Burton brewing scene, plus news of upcoming social events and activities. We have also added a new page pub news, dedicated to the local.

There's also a page outlining the background to Burton-on-Trent as a brewing centre, articles on related topics and links to other CAMRA and beer related websites, as well as sites of local interest.

We welcome contributions to the site - be it a write-up of some of the branch activities, your memories of Burton's brewing heritage, or any topic on the subject of real ale, please e-mail it to us...

With the almost daily changing scene of the brewing industry and with pub closures occurring more frequently, due to the elevated prices brewers and landlords/ladys are having to pay, we would welcome any news of pubs re-opening in the Burton & South Derbyshire area and any thoughts or news of how they have changed, if at all, such that recently refurbished or reopened pubs may be featured here on our site. We would also welcome any pub landlord/lady who may wish to promote any special events that they are hosting. Please e-mail us your news...
