The CAMRA Central Lancashire branch committee have decided that there are five pubs under consideration for the 2019 Pub of the Year award. The five pubs that have been nominated are:-
Note, a sixth pub, the Mad Hatters, Preston was also nominated but it has since had to be withdrawn. This decision was made due to the pub's uncertain future, and its consequent questionability on whether it would be able to fulfil the requirements of the award. The Mad Hatters (now re-named the Bitter Suite, Preston) remains an excellent pub, and this decision is not a reflection on the current ownership. If any votes are received for the Mad Hatters, then the CAMRA member making the vote will be informed of the situation, and they will be allowed to re-submit their vote.
Pub of the Year is an award that is open to be voted on by all local CAMRA members (ie. all members who are recognised by CAMRA nationally as being resident within the CAMRA Central Lancashire branch area). The winner of the Pub of the Year 2019 award will be that pub from the above nominated list that receives the most votes from local CAMRA members. Should there be a tied result with no outright winner, then the award will be given to the tied pub which has the best average beer score on WhatPub.
Voting is to commence on December 1st 2018, with the end date for voting being February 28th 2019. The winner will be announced on the branch website (and elsewhere) at the beginning of March. The winner will be the CAMRA Central Lancashire Pub of the Year for 2019, and will be submitted by the branch to be considered for the regional and national CAMRA Pub of the Year awards.
There are three possible ways to submit your vote:-
• by email to ku.gro.armac.scnallartnec@yraterces
• by completing a voting form (voting forms will be available in each of the above six nominated pubs - they can be handed to the pub landlord and will be collected at regular intervals by a CAMRA committee member)
• in person (by handing over a written note) to the Branch Secretary at any meeting or social during the voting window.
You will need to indicate your name and membership number, and your choice of pub from the nominated list.
We look forward to receive your vote, and in order to get a most valued judgement we would like to encourage you to visit as many of the nominated pubs as possible before voting. The more people that vote then the greater confidence we will have that the best pub has been chosen as the winner.
