The Journal

The quarterly journal is published in March, June, September and December. Each issue is printed in full colour and contains 32 pages. Copies are posted direct to members.

Besides the normal notices, the journal includes a number of short articles written by members and guest contributors. Roughly half the journal is devoted to details and derivations of inn signs across the country, with occasional sorties into foreign lands (subject to available information).

The journal editor depends on members' contributions and his contact details are to be found always on page 2 of the journal.

The front covers of the current and some previous journals are shown below.
Titles of main article features are shown below each entry.
Numbers in brackets indicate continuation of the subject.
