Motion 3
Motion Passed
This Conference agrees that UK beer lovers have been badly let down by the lack of leadership and imagination shown by the multinational brewers and large property firms that, between them, control the UK beer trade. Conference therefore instructs the National Executive to ensure that all relevant CAMRA publications and communications pledge preferential support to beer producers and suppliers that are independent of the influence of the multinational brewers, and to make the case persistently for this stance.
Motion 4
Motion Passed
This Conference instructs the National Executive to establish a self-funding opt-in Beer Group for members, to study and discuss all aspects of beer, viewed from the consumer perspective. The group should be of interest to consumers and the wider beer and pub trade.
Motion 5
Motion Passed
This Conference instructs the National Executive to investigate the logistics and funding of a specialist training course about the nature of beer in all its forms, the structure and ownership of the UK brewing industry and retail beer trade, the nature of real cider, and an introduction to the UK club trade, viewed from the consumer perspective. This should be self-funding and open to all.
Motion 6
Motion Passed
This Conference instructs branches to use the National Beer Scoring System as a significant factor when determining which pubs are considered for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide, from the 2027 edition onwards.
Motion 7 as amended
Motion Failed
This Conference instructs the National Executive to reduce the number of pubs in the Good Beer Guide from the 2027 edition onwards.
Motion 8 as amended
Motion Remitted
This Conference agrees the National Executive should take steps to ensure complaints and disciplinary processes and procedures, as well as the Code of Conduct, are clear and easily accessible to all members. The distinction between complaints and disciplinary matters must be clarified, particularly at what stage a complaint might become a disciplinary matter that needs escalating.
Wherever possible, and in line with the Disciplinary Policy, Branches and Regions should deal with issues locally in the first instance. Branches and Regions shall be empowered to impose commensurate penalties within relevant guidelines at local level. Proceedings shall be recorded appropriately and shall be monitored by the Regional Director.
Motion 9
Motion Remitted
This Conference instructs the National Executive to publish the final submissions for all National, Regional and Branch festival business plans, with confirmation as to whether these were approved or rejected (with reasons provided where appropriate), on an appropriate part of the CAMRA website accessible to members.
Motion 98
Motion Passed
This Conference agrees that this Motion is a test.
Motion 99
Motion Passed
This Conference believes that if remote voting takes place in the future, the totals for online votes should be projected in the Hall to increase transparency.
