What is the one thing you'd like to tell visitors to the Guild's website?

I regularly submit beer related articles to local CAMRA and other magazines, based on trips abroad and at home, beer styles, pub histories and other beer related matters.  Most of my articles are published in local CAMRA magazines, including Ales & Tales and AleSabrina. I also write articles on pub and brewery history for the local Black Country Bugle newspaper. I have also published my own book in May 2022, “Pubs & Breweries of the Black Country” of which I have sold over 1,000 copies. It had now been republished by Brewin Books.   I published my second book, “Tales from Black Country Taverns” in March 2024. I have also submitted several articles for consideration in the Beer Writers Awards.
