Pub Sign of the Year - VOTES NEEDED
12th September 2023
PSOTY CLOSED on 25th June 2023.
The final 9 signs selected by the Committee now appear on the PSOTY Site and in Issue 136 of The Journal. Members have till the 30th September 2023 to vote for Sign of the Year.
Votes are coming in VERY SLOWLY - we have over 200 members so lets support PSOTY.
The sign for the Duke of Cumberland has been removed from the pub and has been replaced by a new sign. The pub is closed and under major refurbishment. It is therefore regretted that the sign no longer qualifies and has been removed from the competition.
Shown is the sign of Compasses, Chelmsford, Essex.
