To my shame, Iv'e never been there, despite there being a train service
from Lancaster, but I've never heard a bad word said about it and I'm sure
it;s a good choice.  You have to be careful about the hours, and if you're
going by train you have to remember to tell the guard you want to get off.

Yes a great pub, but I think the Mason Arms, Broughton, the Anglers, 
Haverthwaite and Watermill, Ings are even better!

Stands back...

I just got told yesterday that the reason why they have never been
branch POTY before, is because, as active CAMRA members they were
entitled to vote, and instead of abstaining, they voted for the
competition!

( ermm .... before is because as .... sounds right when I say it but
looks daft when I write it!!)

CAMERA has 60,000+ members. Two votes in a branch cannot make much of a 
difference to which pub gets the Pub of the Year for the area.

CAMERA?

Yes Camra may have 60k plus members. But they can't vote in every branch -
only members in a branch area can vote.  Then, just how many of them bother
to actually vote?

If too few members are actually voting and two votes skew the result so 
much perhaps there is something very wrong with the voting system. 
Surely the branch membership should be in the hundreds and not single 
figures?

You obviously do not know where the pub is.

Well it would be a difference of four votes, actually. (think about
it)

And in a branch where 10 or 11 members show up to meetings, it could
be highly significant if they select their POTY by a vote at a
meeting!

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

Just for the record, POTY voting in the Furness branch is by
Postal/Email ballot. Attendance at meetings is not a prerequisite to
exercise your right to vote.
