  • Tap Rooms Bus Trip Friday 25 July 2025 18:00 Darlington Market Square

    George Samuel
    Steam Machine

    Update (13/07/2025): Unfortunately, Caps Off will now be closed on the day of our trip due staff holidays. We have decided to go ahead with the trip and spend more time in George Samuel and Steam Machine rather than try to organise another third venue. It will also result in an earlier return time of 10:30pm. If this changes your decision to want to join the trip, please let me know asap and I will remove you from the list. Otherwise we look forward to seeing you on the 25th July.

    Friday 25th July @ 6:00pm depart from Darlington Town Centre (behind Dolphin Centre), return to same place for 10:30pm. Cost will be £15 payable on the night. Non-CAMRA members welcome.

    We have 19 spaces available, please email Social Secretary to reserve a space.

  • Barnard Castle Branch Meeting & Survey Trip Saturday 2 August 2025 Old Well Inn

    We are going to hold an additional Branch Meeting in August in Barnard Castle to give the opportunity for branch members living in and around the Barnard Castle area to meet and chat about all things CAMRA.

    We will hold it on a Saturday afternoon so we can also use the opportunity to do some pub surveying in Barnard Castle for the Good Beer Guide after the meeting. We will meet in the front bar of The Olde Well Inn. Note: the meeting isn't exclusively for members in and around Barnard Castle, all members welcome.

    Surveying afterwards is optional. We will take in:

    • The Castle Tap (newly opened)
    • The Three Horseshoes

    Bus: X76 from Darlington Town Hall @ 12;11pm arrives Barnard Castle 12:53pm.

  • Games Day with NWYorks branch Saturday 6 September 2025 Travellers Rest

    This year, our annual meet up with our neighbouring branch - North West Yorkshire - will be on Saturday 6th September at The Travellers Rest in Skeeby.

    We will have an afternoon of friendly competition, beers and chat. All branch members are welcome and encouraged to come along.

    More details including transport options will be posted nearer to the day.
