Pub of the Year , Club of the Year & Cider Pub of the Year
Pubs and Clubs are nominated by members of Wyre Forest Branch. The nominees are then voted on at the AGM to select the final shortlist. Shortlisted venues are all then visited to judge a range of criteria, including quality and knowledge of drinks on offer, their decor and atmosphere, welcome and service, community focus and sympathy with CAMRA's aims.
Nominations are currently open to members. Full details and a simple nomination form is available in the Members Area

CAMRA's Online Pub Locator & Guide: WhatPub
This is a great website for finding out about pubs, and it can locate those nearest to you. In most areas of the UK, it has been updated with the latest services (take away meals, etc) being provided. If you're a CAMRA member whilst out and about you can record your beer scores in WhatPub, as it's beer scores that determine which pubs are selected for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide. Full details are available here: Beer Scoring and the Good Beer Guide
