  • CAMRA National Members’ Weekend and AGM Friday 26 – Sunday 28 April 2024 Caird Hall, Dundee

    Come to the home of Jam, Jute and Journalism for Members' Weekend 2024

    Next year's Members' Weekend, AGM & Conference will return to the beautiful Caird Hall in Dundee between 26-28 April. It will be hosted by our Scotland & Northern Ireland branches, who last welcomed us to the city in 2019. In 2024, CAMRA will be celebrating 50 years in Scotland.

    The event is open to all our members and free to attend. Find out more and register to attend here.

    Once registered, you will be sent information about activities and organised trips nearer the time. You can also register in person over the weekend.

    Caird Hall, right in the city centre, is in close proximity to local pubs, restaurants, hotels and Dundee train station. With everything under one roof, including the all-important Members’ Bar, you’ll have the chance to take part in all the discussions and activities, socialise and drink without leaving the building.

    Discover Dundee

    Dundee is famed for jute, jam and journalism - even being the home to the Beano and Dandy! In addition, visitors can enjoy walking along the regenerated waterfront to visit Scotland's first design museum, V&A Dundee, and the ship that took Scott and Shackleton to Antarctica in 1901, the RRS Discovery.

    Volunteer for Team Dundee

    You can register your intention to volunteer and find out more at https://camra.org.uk/members-weekend-agm-conference/

    and we'll send you the application link as soon as it's ready. Volunteers will be needed in all areas, including set up (from Tuesday 23rd April), as Conference Tellers, bar staff and general assistants.

    We look forward to welcoming you to Dundee next April.
