Finally after some delay, our former President Greg Garner has put together a few words summing up his time on the executive. Enjoy!:
“Outgoing President’s Message” from past president Greg Garner”
As per usual we have undergone a year of change within the Campaign For Real Ale Victoria society. Our well attended AGM saw a well-rounded executive being elected that included two women, both new and old members, and even a Certified Cicerone! I can confidently say that we are in very good hands. On a personal note I felt it was time for me to step aside and let some new blood steer the ship. I’ve been serving on the executive for the past seven consecutive years in several roles and serving as president for the final two. I will still be participating as ‘Past President’ which allows me to attend executive meetings and provide some guidance but also step back and allow for new ideas and initiatives.
We continue to face the welcomed challenge of competition as a craft beer focused society. Competition for people’s time, their money, and especially competition from other craft beer events and organizations which have gone from almost zero to common place in Victoria. This is indeed a welcomed ‘problem’ as craft beer advocates and something that the founders and early members of CAMRA Victoria should be very proud to witness as pioneers of craft beer awareness in B.C.
CAMRA Victoria has dug its heels in over the past few years to provide its members with unique offers and unparalleled value for their membership fee. Unique offers include a focus on advocacy and education events while still maintaining a relaxed and welcoming approach to our meetings which are typically open to guests. We have never increased our annual dues and have ensured that active members receive far more than this nominal amount through complimentary pints, tastings, snacks, prizes, tours and guest speakers.
A final and farewell thanks to past executive members that I’ve served with, especially long-standing President Glen Stusek for his past (and continued) efforts, and lastly to the new executive who impresses me with their excitement and vision for how to keep CAMRA going strong. I look forward to enjoying ‘civilian life’ as a member and seeing you all at future events.
Cheers, Greg Garner Past President Also, I’ve attached an article Greg wrote back while he was at UVic about the history of Vancouver Island Brewery, which also makes mention of the late great Greg Evans in it. I hope you enjoy…..
(P.S.: I have tested the link and it does work fine. Cheers!)

Beer Collection Available

Category : News

CAMRA.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=13c466132396bddc53ae2d7ba&id=b76cf82fc2&e=77b03b1968 Hello CAMRA members and Craft Beer Enthusiasts,
Local beer aficionado and founding CAMRA Victoria member, Dave Preston, is downsizing his house and has the attached collection of beer bottles available:
Click Here to see the collection (CAMRA.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=13c466132396bddc53ae2d7ba&id=c4557d43d1&e=77b03b1968)
Dave is keen for the collection to be kept together if possible, so the price is quite negotiable. Most of the bottles are unopened, (which means undrinkable and are very valuable to some collectors who specialize in unopened bottles). However Dave sees this collection as one he’d like to see stay in Victoria. Most of the bottles are from the 1980’s to the 2000’s.
If interested, contact Dave through the link above.
Cheers.
