I don’t know if this is standard practice or a special offer that’s on at the moment, but I joined CAMRA last week (£25 for an annual joint membership for Jo and I) and in the welcome pack that arrived in the post, they sent vouchers. Lots of vouchers…

No fewer than 40 of them, in fact, each one promising to knock 50p off a pint of beer at any participating Wetherspoons (or Lloyds No.1) pub. So that’s a £20 beer discount, just for joining CAMRA. Which is nice.

And seeing as I live in Manchester, that means at least three decent-sized Wetherspoons venues to choose from (and those are just the ones I’m aware of off the top of my head) including The Moon Under Water (which if I remember correctly is the largest pub in Europe) so I reckon I ought to be able to make good use of those before too long.
