List
of Ansell's Pubs Wanted
Member John French has set himself
the task of creating a register of Midlands pubs - by
brewery! Being a very organised sort of person, John has
decided to start at the beginning with the letter 'A'.
Consequently he is on the lookout
for a list of Ansell's pubs! Any date will do as a
starting point. If anyone can provide John with
information - or any other lists of pubs of other
Midland breweries, please email him at:
jfpostcards[at]gmail[dot]com

ISS seeks Area Representatives
At the Spring meeting of
the general Committee, it was agreed to seek to
re-introduce representatives for the various areas of the
country.
The Society tends to rely on
a small number of people and it is hoped the concept of
area representatives will generate ideas, provide
support and help raise
the profile of the Inn Sign Society.
In proposing the motion, the Vice Chairman said that a
number of members had expressed an interest to be more
closely involved within the Society.
The role is primarily seen
as a contact between members and committee as well as
between members within the respective area. The post
holder will also be seen as the person 'on the ground',
who is prepared to be the local contact for persons
seeking information about the Society.
The areas will correspond to
the regions of the Sign of the Year Awards.
In brief, the 11 areas are:
East Anglia (inc. Beds & Northants)
East Midlands (inc. Rutland)
Home Counties (excl. London post codes)
London (London post codes)
North East (East of the Pennines)
North West (inc. Cheshire & IOM)
South (Hants, IOW, Sussex, Oxon, Wilts & Channel
Islands)
South West (inc. Dorset & Gloucs)
West Midlands
Scotland
Wales
The post holder will not be expected to travel to all
points of the region, but it is hoped he or she will
already have a better than average knowledge of pub
signs within the relevant area.
Access to a computer with
email facilities is considered desirable, though not
essential.
Members, attracted to the proposal, are invited to express
their interest by contacting the Secretary:
alanarose@blueyonder.co.uk
or by post to:
9, Denmead Drive,Wednesfield, Wolverhampton
WV11 2QS
