How to Join Solihull and District CAMRA

To join Solihull and District CAMRA, contact the branch membership secretary, Dave, at the branch email address shown on the website, or use the national CAMRA "Join us" link in the site menu. The branch welcomes anyone who shares its interest in pubs and real ale or cider. The site does not publish subscription prices or an online branch sign-up form, so confirm current fees and the joining process directly with the membership secretary or through the national CAMRA site.

Who the branch is for

The Solihull and District CAMRA site describes itself as the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale and invites people who share a passion for pubs and real ale or cider to become members. Membership is handled through CAMRA, with the branch acting as the local point of contact.

Ways to join

Contact the branch membership secretary

The homepage names Dave as membership secretary and gives a branch email address for membership enquiries. Write to that address to ask about joining, current subscription options, and any local branch activity for new members. The address appears on the page in a reversed format to deter automated collection, so read it carefully and enter it in the normal order when emailing.

Use the national CAMRA joining route

The site menu includes a "Join us" link alongside "National CAMRA" and "National pub guide" entries, which take you to CAMRA's national membership information. Joining nationally makes you a member of CAMRA and connects you to your local branch.

What membership connects you to

The branch site lists the activities and benefits that members can take part in:

• Branch socials and meetings — for example, a Christmas Crawl on Saturday 12 December 2026 and branch meetings including Monday 2 November 2026 at the Forest Hotel, Dorridge, and Wednesday 2 December 2026 at the Fieldhouse, Solihull.
• Local discounts for CAMRA members — a dedicated page in the site menu.
• The Solihull Drinker magazine — the branch magazine, with a downloadable September edition, plus an archive of magazines and predecessors going back to 1982.
• Pub awards and recommendations, a pub guide, and local beer festival and event listings.
• A members' area on the website.

Checking before you commit

Because the site does not state membership rates, payment methods, or whether any joining step can be completed online, treat those details as unconfirmed until you hear back from the membership secretary or check the national CAMRA pages. If you want to sample the branch first, the branch meetings and socials listed on the site are open events to look out for, and the pub news and festival listings give a sense of local activity before you join.
