In 2006 members of the Campaign for Real Ale in the Tendring Peninsula voted to form their own branch. This meant that the area of North East Essex bounded roughly by the area East of the line from Brightlingsea to Manningtree - extending out to Clacton and Harwich would be a new branch of CAMRA separate from the Colchester & North East Essex Branch.

This seemingly unimportant event was, in fact, important to Tendring CAMRA members since they could now campaign more effectively at a local level - one of the guiding principles of our organisation.

So - if you think that Real Ale and Pubs are an important part of British life and in need of promotion, protection and celebration you might find this site right up your alley. Even if you find yourself annoyed, bored or even (heaven forbid) in disagreement with us we hope you'll find snippets or things here to amuse, provoke or otherwise pass the time.

This site is very much a work in progress so please keep checking back!

	It's the Jubeerlee! Not content with two beer festivals Tendring CAMRA are holding a one-off special festival this year to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. It's an opportunity to celebrate all things British - such as delicious real ale, great British grub and some quirky live music! Join us to sample your way through our usual eclectic beer list or just sink a couple of pints with some bangers and mash! Full details here.
