PUBS, CLUBS AND THE ON-TRADE • The definition of the on-trade outlets CAMRA supports is widened • CAMRA will campaign for and promote all on-trade venues where quality beer, cider and perry is sold, not just traditional pubs and clubs • CAMRA will not extend its current support of the off-trade

EDUCATION AND INFORMATION • Education and knowledge will be put at the heart of CAMRA’s membership benefits • Positive alcohol and health campaigning will be added into the organisation’s objectives • Objectives will be added to recruit discerning beer, cider and perry drinkers into membership and give them access to information and education resources to introduce them to the best quality beers, including real ale, cider and perry

QUALITY • Increasing the quality of real ale, cider and perry, not just promoting their consumption
