Apparently our attendance was endorsing poor quality beer.<br /><br />The best way to deal with these sad individuals is to call their bluff and ask them what they would do instead? When it comes to actually rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in with organising socials, beer festivals, brewery visits etc, most of them run a mile.Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-597637206193960892014-05-11T09:42:20.617+01:002014-05-11T09:42:20.617+01:00Obviously it is hard to determine from what you wr...Obviously it is hard to determine from what you write what happened behind the scenes in your branch, but frankly it is appalling if such a sensible stance was overturned by those that can't be bothered to turn up and discuss it.<br /><br />We forget the "campaign" bit about CAMRA at our peril.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.com
