Campaign for Real Ale Society (CAMRA) Victoria / BC records

Series consists of records made or received by John Rowling in his capacity as a member and officer of CAMRA BC. Rowling served as President of the Victoria branch from 1990-1992 and 2000-2003. The records mainly reflect the workings of the Victoria branch, but up to 2010 the Executive of CAMRA Victoria acted for BC as a whole.

Activities and events documented include the establishment of CAMRA BC; meetings, administration and management of membership; CAMRA public campaigns; and the production of the What's Brewing newsletter. Series includes both paper and born-digital records. For record types, see sub-series descriptions.

The series is arranged into seven sub-series:

Campaign for Real Ale Society of British Columbia (CAMRA BC)

BC Beerfront News (CAMRA BC)

Sub-sub-series consists of 4 issues of the BC Beer Front News, the newsletter of CAMRA BC's predecessor organization. An earlier group of CAMRA Canada members based in the Lower Mainland incorporated as CAMRA BC in 1985. They met regularly and produced a newsletter for several years, but their registration as a BC Society had lapsed and they were no longer active by 1990 when the new group based in Victoria incorporated separately as CAMRA BC. See the CAMRA BC administrative history for more detail.
