CAMRA Bristol & District Branch Club Of The Year 2025 AND 2026 AND NOW…
CAMRA South West Regional Club Of The Year 2026
CAMRA SOUTH WEST REGIONAL CLUB OF THE YEAR 2026 PRESENTATION DAY SATURDAY 22nd AUGUST 16.00
Save the date (and time) and come along to celebrate with us and take part in the presentation. (We promise that Steve with not talk for too long)
What an achievement for our club, for Jane and her team but also for our members: the vibe that you help us create is vital in helping us achieve all of these successes.
Once again we are recognised for many things including the range and quality of our beer, the atmosphere and the environment. We would not have received this award without the commitment and contribution of all members of our staff team who, by the way they serve our members (and guests) and their friendly, efficient manner, create the welcome which has been recognised in this award. And, of course, our club is always well presented, clean and tidy: Louise, and other members of the team, make sure that the club is always shown off in the best way.
Without doubt the award would not have been received without the excellent cellar work from Mel (ably supported by his trainer David). We are congratulated on the standard of the beer which we serve - well their work helps make sure that it is served in perfect condition. And once again we are complemented on the excellence of the range, and choice, of real ales which we make available: thanks Jane, keep providing a great range to tempt us with!
And let us repeat, you our members help create the friendly, welcoming atmosphere: THANK YOU ALL MEMBERS!
WE WOULD LOVE YOU TO COME TO THE PRESENTATION WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY 22ND AUGUST AT 4:00PM. A number of CAMRA members will be joining us at Backwell Village Club to enjoy our beers and our hospitality in a friendly, low-key manner - so not too much time spent on speeches and presentations – just beer, fun and celebration! Please come to celebrate with us and to help make our guests welcome.

BUT IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN BEFORE THEN DO COME ALONG. YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING A REAL TREAT!!
Enjoy our garden
While the good weather is still with us!
Very many members have taken the opportunity to enjoy our lovely garden this summer, making the most of the sunshine, good company, and the relaxed atmosphere it offers. Whether it's been a quiet drink after work, a catch-up with friends, or simply a spot of peace away from the everyday, the garden has proved a real asset to the Club this season. Well, we might be heading towards Autumn, but there's still plenty of time to enjoy it before the cooler weather truly sets in. The evenings are drawing in a little sooner, but on a clear day the garden remains a lovely spot to sit out, and the change of season brings its own charm.
So do take advantage of it while you can. Bring family, bring friends, or simply drop by for a quiet moment to yourself. The garden is here for all our members to enjoy, and we'd love to see you making the most of it before the season turns.
Remembering our neighbours
LEAVING THE CLUB AFTER 9PM, INCLUDING AFTER DRINKING UP TIME
Backwell Village Club is keen to ensure that members at all times behave in a manner which does not cause undue disturbance and / or inconvenience. In particular when leaving the site, or in the outside areas including the car park, after 9pm members should do so without causing unnecessary noise.
After time is called members must leave the building by the end of drinking up time and leave the site (including the building and outside areas and the car park) immediately.
To ensure that these aims are met the Committee has decided that, from time to time and / or if reports are received of activity at inappropriate times, the security cameras will be used to monitor what is happening and identify those responsible.
THE SMOKING HUT WILL BE CLOSED AT 11:00 PM EACH EVENING and will reopen 30 minutes before club opening time. Anybody working in the club, or at the club for a purpose accepted by Manager, Staff or Committee, may use the Smoking Hut at any time between 9:00am and 11:00pm.
Members and guests using the Smoking Hut are, at all times, requested to do so in a manner which minimises inconvenience to neighbours. After 9pm members and guests are required to talk quietly in order to minimise inconvenience to neighbours.
We need your help!
Our volunteers are stretched. We need your skills to enable
the club to continue to function efficiently.
Backwell Village Club relies on the work and contributions from a small number of members who devote time, skills and abilities to help make the club a success. This supplements the sterling work of Jane and her team and allows us to be a cost effective, efficient, friendly social club and meeting place. BUT WE URGENTLY NEED MORE HELP. This can be as a Committee Member, a helper or a volunteer, and it does not have to be time-consuming. Tell us how you think you can help, how much (or little) time that you have available and we can work with you to integrate this into our plans.
