Magazine Distribution Ian Stamp (temporary), nipsdistribution@norwich.camra.org.uk – if you’d like to help with this, and have an hour or two to spare each quarter, please let me know. The job consists of liaising between the editor of Norfolk Nips and the volunteer distributors to let them know when the magazine is available for collection / delivery, and allocating volunteers to pubs. Access to a computer is required to maintain the list of distributors and send/receive a few emails, but no special skills are needed.
Webmaster Ian Stamp, webmaster@norwich.camra.org.uk
Norfolk Nips and the Tasting Panel are managed at County level, but the Editor and Tasting Panel Coordinator usually report back to the Committee if they are members of this branch.
