Welcome
A warm welcome to the website of Ayrshire & Wigtownshire CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale. Geographically, our branch is located in South West Scotland and covers an area of approximately 1600 square miles (4185 km²)
We have almost 600 members who are passionate about pub-going and real ale while having fun at the same time. We are a very active branch with regular social activities and a successful festival held in early October each year. In addition, we publish a multi-award-winning branch magazine called Full Pints, with issues printed and distributed quarterly.
Please have a look around our website, or better still, come and join us in a pub for a beer or two.
Branch Clothing Order Form
We are planning to order more clothing items which will feature the new CAMRA logo. All those who wish to purchase an item are requested to complete an order form using the links below. One form is a PDF which will need to be downloaded, printed and posted to our branch chair. His address is on the form. Alternatively, you can download the Excel version, complete it digitally and attach it to an email addressed to Lindsay Gtant, branch-chair@ayr.carmra.org.uk. The deadline for all orders is Saturday, 5 September 2026.
