Who won what

Runner up: Reading and Mid-Berks branch, website coordinator Timothy Hayward.

Judges were impressed with the website’s balance of text and images with no clutter and a clear use of its homepage, noting good use of photos in the top banner. It’s a great site with lots of features, including a comprehensive sidebar. The beer-scoring pages and explanations of keykeg were of particular note. The site portrays a very active branch, with informative articles on the history of pubs and brewing in Reading and surrounding areas. 

Bronze: Kingdom of Fife branch, website coordinator Dave Hollingsworth.

Judges described the professional-looking website as neat and well-structured with good photos and a logical menu. Judges praised how the site encouraged members to get involved in the Campaign.

Silver: Shrewsbury and West Shropshire branch, website coordinator Nick Smith.

Judges praised the site’s attractive and modern design, good use and range of images and clear navigation. Its varied use of interesting content about how the branch works and how members and non-members can get involved made this branch website a clear winner. 

Gold: Norwich and District branch, website coordinator Ian Stamp (above right).

Judges were impressed with this extremely well-structured and exceptionally well-organised website, describing it as one of the most feature packed sites around. Judges praised how welcoming the site was for users and commended the annual pub survey page.
