Now the Order Paper has been published, members can submit amendments to motions and emergency motions for consideration by Conference Procedures Committee.
Amendments will only be accepted during debate at Conference in exceptional circumstances.
Emergency motions are defined as those where the situation requiring the motion arose after the deadline for submission or ordinary motions (for 2026 Conference, Friday 13 February 2026) and could not have been anticipated before the deadline.
Both amendments and emergency motions should be submitted for consideration at the Conference Procedures Committee meeting on the eve of Conference, (7pm, Friday 17 April 2026 at the Quakers Meeting House, Upper Lattimore Road, St Albans. Please note this is a 5-10-minute walk from the Alban Arena).
Where possible, please submit these in advance of the meeting to Ellie Hudspith, secretary to Conference Procedures Committee on cpcsecretary@camra.org.uk)
Registration details, the motions, Standing Orders (which set out the processes we follow for debating and voting) and more Members’ Weekend information is here.
Discussion threads for each of the motions will be set up on Discourse, CAMRA’s online discussion forum.
