About Us
Welcome to the website of the Mansfield and Ashfield branch of CAMRA.
We currently have 605 members.
After re-forming a committee in the Summer of 2022, we have been busy re-establishing a fully working branch. Monthly meetings are held and we have a quarterly newsletter and magazine. Monthly socials take place, alongside occasional cross-branch outings. We are always looking for more volunteers and hope to see you at future branch meetings and events.
We are currently looking into the history of the branch. Any information anyone can give would be welcome.
