The four Norfolk branches cooperate to produce and distribute Norfolk Nips, and to select the County Pub of the Year and Cider Pub of the Year. For details contact County Coordinator Martin Ward, county@norwich.camra.org.uk, or Magazine Editor Lucy Cousins, editor@norfolknips.org.uk
Beer tasting is also organised at county level, with the Norfolk Tasting Panel organising the county Beer of the Year competitions, and creating tasting notes for beers brewed in Norfolk, for use in the Good Beer Guide. For details, and to join the Tasting Panel, please contact Tasting Panel Coordinator Alan Edwards, tastingpanel@norwich.camra.org.uk
Norfolk is part of CAMRA’s East Anglia Region, which also includes Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire*, and is one of 16 regions in the UK. The Regional Committee, led by Regional Director Andrea Briers, coordinate most of the same functions as branches do, including finance, tasting panels, brewery liaison, the Good Beer Guide, and Pub of the Year competitions. Further details can be found on the region’s website.
*A draft Regions Review was published in April 2023, which proposed (among other things) splitting Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire off into a new East Central Region, with Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, as East Anglia currently has far more branches and covers a larger area then most other regions.
