Regional Pub & Club Judging

Regional POTY, CPOTY & COTY 2024

All five of the North East CAMRA branches are tasked with assessing all of the winners of the individual Pub of the Year, Cider pub of the Year & Club of the year to provide scores for crowning the Regional winners. Those regional winners will then be put forward for the Super-Regional round.

In recent years this task has been undertaken by a small number of members who have given up a lot of their time to ensure we, as a branch, provide scores and therefore avoid our won pubs being disqualified.

This year we are calling on all branch members to lend a hand. Why not help share the load, get out and about to some great pubs and clubs in the region, and help us provide some well considered scores to the judges.

How it works
We need at least one assesment for every branch winner in each category, however multiple assessents is fine. All judging needs to be done by Mid-June.

Below is a table of every pub\club that needs judging. If you feel you can pop along to one or more, click on this link I'd Like to Help to send us a mail letting us know where you can go and when. We we will update the table below.
Ideally, if you are able to, you should judge all of the venues within the same category to allow a direct comparison by an individual, therefore the table is split into the 3 voting categories,
