On 16 March, Think was only too delighted to learn that publishing partner The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) had reached its 40th birthday, so a loyal detachment celebrated in a way the organisation would be proud of… and went down the pub.

At the North Pole near White City, ale was quaffed in quantities that were just about tolerable for a school night, and many a shanty was sung to CAMRA’s continued good health.

With a leisurely outlook drawn from its proud belief in patient brewing processes, CAMRA is giving its own birthday celebrations plenty of time to develop a rounded flavour. Supporters have until 1 July – that’s ages yet! – to add pictures of their own CAMRA-anniversary knees-ups to this website: http://bit.ly/dRiYrK

Cheers!
