CAMRA East Hampshire's area covers the "GU34" area that was previously part of the Surrey Hants Borders (SHB) branch, and which was formed as a sort of sub-branch in 2001 from a lead taken by the late John Bodiam.
The branch was really too large to be managed effectively as a single entity and therefore in 2010 it was agreed to reduce the size of the SHB branch by forming this new one - with two branches instead of one, resources and campaigning time can be more focused on local issues.
During this period, superb support was provided by the SHB committee, and by CAMRA - especially John Buckley, Wessex Regional Manager at that time.
