Wolverhampton CAMRA Young Members meets at the Dog and Doublet in the city centre on the third Thursday of every month.

But the branch has been struggling for numbers of late, just attracting on average five people.

The group is aimed at people aged 30 and under.

Chairman Karen Williams said: "I think part of the problem is people don't drink so much during the week anymore.

"They have work the next day."

She added: "I'd ask people to go because it is a great organisation and a good way to meet friends and enjoy good ale."

Wolverhampton CAMRA secretary John Nightingale said: "We had many members when the group first started, but recently numbers have dwindled."

The group next meets at Dog and Doublet on June 15. On July 20, the group is organising a tour of Tettenhall's pubs.
