The primary activity of the ‘National Association of Wine and Beermakers’, or NAWB, is to stage the world’s premier Annual show for the hobby. The ‘National’ is normally held at the end of March or early April. It is a two-day show with the AGM and Conference held on the same weekend. Between 1996 and 2010, the ‘National’ alternated between two venues - Scarborough and Weston-Super-Mare. However, Scarborough became too expensive; so the committee decided to move to a new venue for the Annual show in 2011 and Hull was chosen. It is hoped that this new venue is sited conveniently enough to enable members from all over the country to travel to it. The 2013 show will be held at the Ramada Hotel, Hull on March 15th - 17th. The weekend is not just about the Show. There are home-made wine and beer tastings on Friday evening, a commercial wine tasting on Saturday afternoon, and a dance on Saturday evening. The majority of classes in the show are solely for members of NAWB, but there are 24 classes that are also open to non-members who are members of clubs affiliated to NAWB. Non-members are most welcome to attend the weekend’s events, except for the AGM. However, by becoming a member and entering the ‘National’, this is your chance to enter the members’ classes and to try out your wines against some of the leading amateur Wine and Beer makers in the country. Further details about membership of NAWB can be found on the Membership page. Click here for Membership Application / Renewal Form and/or Standing Order Form.
