CAMRA Community Pub Month
In April, CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale is to launch a new national pubs campaign, Community Pubs Month, to champion local pubs which are at the heart of countless communities across Britain.
The aims of Community Pubs Month are to increase footfall in pubs, to encourage more publicans to promote new or existing events to attract further trade, and to spread awareness of community pubs throughout the media.
The dedicated website for the Month – www.communitypubsmonth.org.uk – is geared up to give pubs free publicity through listing any events licensees have planned throughout the month of April. Pubs signing up to the Month will be given free promotional material to help promote their events, whether it be the regular weekly pub quiz or a big one-off charity bash to get the community together.
Kicking off proceedings on Monday April 2nd with Community Pubs Day – the day after CAMRA’s Members’ Weekend & AGM in Torquay – CAMRA branches across Britain will be organising a wide range of events to promote their local pubs during the Month, and will be working in the lead-up to April to ensure this first year for the campaign is a big success.
Tony Jerome, CAMRA Head of Marketing, said:
‘The real aim of this Month is to give a window of opportunity for hard working publicans to promote any events they have planned in April, and for us at CAMRA to give them all the help and support in terms of publicity and increased trade.
‘We realise it’s a tough time out there for pubs at the moment – as CAMRA’s new pub closure figures highlighted last week – and this is why CAMRA has put a large amount of campaigning funds into this initiative to help pubs market themselves during April.’

Government Needs to Act on Pre Loading
The Government needs to “entice” drinkers back into pubs to combat revellers downing cheap alcohol at home before a night on the town and causing violence,reports thisisnorthdevon.
New research unveiled by Plymouth University’s Institute for Health and Community revealed links between so-called “pre-loading” at home before a night out and violent crime.
Dr Adrian Barton, of the Plymouth Business School, was due to tell the institute’s launch conference today that the crackdown on cheap drinks in licensed premises has led to more people drinking at home at the beginning of a night on the town and a rise in alcohol-related crime.
Over a six-month period more than 600 people who had been arrested were surveyed to get to the root of their drinking habits.
Two-thirds aged between 17 and 30 had consumed alcohol at home before going out – the majority said they were already drunk by the time they reached a pub or club.
Some 83 per cent said they had bought beer, wine and spirits from a supermarket – 40 per cent were later arrested for violence-related offences.
Dr Barton said: “Somewhat paradoxically, it would appear that previous government policy around alcohol, such as the restrictions on discounted drinks promotions and happy hours, and extended licensing hours, could be at the root of some of these problems.
“There is clear demand for cheap early evening drinks, and it is possible that reducing the availability of these in licensed premises has contributed to the rise in ‘pre-loading’.
“Extended late opening prolongs what we term ‘the drinking event’ and increases the likelihood of excessive drinking and flashpoints.”

British Beer and Pub Association; Invite Your MP To the Pub
English Tourism Week constituency day – Friday, 16th March: Invite your MP to the pub, says Brigid Simmonds
BBPA Chief Executive Brigid Simmonds has urged pubs to make the most of English Tourism Week 2012, by inviting their local MPs to visit a pub to show how vital the trade is to the tourism and hospitality sector. The call follows the publication this week of a unique report on every Parliamentary constituency showing the huge impact pubs have on the local economy and on jobs – especially among 16-24 year olds, as part of the BBPA’s call for Beer Tax freeze this year.
English Tourism Week runs from 10th to 18th March – with Friday, 16th March designated as a special ‘constituency day’, where local MPs are being encouraged to visit local tourism businesses. MPs have been alerted to make themselves available. Brigid Simmonds, who is also Chairman of the Tourism Alliance, says it’s an ideal opportunity to show how important pubs are to the tourism and hospitality sector.
Brigid Simmonds comments:
“English Tourism Week Constituency Day is a great opportunity for pubs to invite their MP to pull a pint on 16th March. 2012 must be the year for the pub, with the summer of celebration ahead of us. As it’s just a week before the Budget, pubs will want to raise the huge rises in beer tax, but also concern over business rates and bank lending for small businesses, to get the much needed investment that a thriving tourism sector needs. We need to show how important pubs are to tourism in Britain.”

Rise of Food Led Pubs
Food could be the key to improve business performance for Pubs according to a recent survey by customer intelligence specialists, the mystery dining company.
Not only did over two thirds of the survey's 357 respondents believe that improved food options would encourage them to visit pubs more frequently, nine out of 10 people also confirmed that they will check out the food menu in a pub even if they are not intending to eat during their visit.
This will come as good news for pubs that have already been tapping into consumer demand for quality informal dining options and looking towards pubs to deliver this.
However with respondents citing their main reasons for choosing a pub as being either for a meal and a drink (36%), for socialising with friends (31%), and for just a drink (14%), it appears that a sociable and relaxed environment with a good selection of drinks on offer remains a key attraction for customers.
Brigid Simmonds, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: "Food is increasingly important to the ongoing viability of the British pub. This survey demonstrates that enhancing the quality of food served in our pubs and investing in the delivery of an excellent customer experience is critical to the success of much of the pub sector."
The positive news for pubs is that there has also been a dramatic shift in perceptions, with 80% of survey respondents believing that the customer service offered by pubs has improved significantly in the past five years.
