Motherwell ale-lover lands top post
A GROUP which promotes real ale and guides consumers to the best pubs around the country has named a Motherwell man as its new national chairman.
Colin Valentine now leads the Campaign for Real Ale's 110,000 members.
The former Dalziel High School pupil, whose brother is Motherwell councillor Alan Valentine, said: "I am overwhelmed that my fellow directors have chosen me to lead the campaign.
"CAMRA has helped create the circumstances where consumers are increasingly demanding quality and provenance.
"The competition to be included in our Good Beer Guide proves that if you offer the consumer a quality product in good surroundings they will spend their hard earned money in your pub."
Colin, who now lives in Edinburgh, has previously been CAMRA national vice-chairman and chairman of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland branch.
Mike Benner, CAMRA's chief executive, said: "We've no doubt Colin will provide the strong leadership and direction necessary when tackling the major issues like stemming the rate of pub closures across the UK."
