| 2 | (a) Nominations for inclusion in the next GBG may be made in writing or on-line at any time or verbally at branch meetings. Any real ale pub may be put forward |
| (b) Note: Verbal nominations will only be considered if they are made within the appropriate agenda item at a branch meeting otherwise the nomination must be in writing or on line.
For on-line nominations please use: tynland.camra.org.uk/good-beer-guide-selection This means that the previous 2 GBG separate selection meetings will be replaced by a standing item on each branch agenda. |
|
| (c)Pubs nominated will be considered & selected as appropriate by the GBG sub-committee to fit in with the visit schedule. | |
| 3 | When sufficient nominations have been received, pubs will be selected for a visit. NBSS/What pub scores will be taken into account in the selection process.
Typically these scores should be 3.0 & above. The pubs to be visited will be from those in 1 above + a selection of new nominations. Note: Members attending Branch Meetings are reminded about the importance of regular beer scoring to support individual pub nominations. |
| 4 | All GBG entries for both Tyneside & Northumberland will be decided by the committee from a short list drawn up based on data received & visits made. A shortlist of pubs could be put to members for voting purposes at branch meetings if deemed necessary. |
| 5 | a) Where there is a lack of nominations, the committee will make the nominations. |
| b) Members will be encouraged to submit NBSS /What pub scores from selected areas, mainly in Northumberland. | |
| 6 | All GBG pubs should be visited over a 2 year period; 37 for Tyneside & 40 for Northumberland, achieved as follows: |
| (a) For Tyneside, in any one year, the branch will aim to visit all the GBG entries in the current guide via various Meetings, Wanders & Socials. This should include a survey of each pub. | |
| (b) For Northumberland, in any one year there will be 4 survey trips each concentrating on 5 pubs, i.e. 20 pubs in any one year. There will be room to survey new possible entries on each trip, typically 3 or 4. The process is repeated in the second year for the remaining half of the 40 Northumberland entries. | |
| 7 | A review of pubs suggested for the next GBG will take place in the following January by the committee to see what actions may be required. |
