Society A.G.M. 2024
1st July 2024
The 32nd AGM of the Inn Sign Society was held on 22nd June at The Bells Pub, Staines Village, Surrey. The venue did a "Sumptuous Buffet" lunch which went down well with the members attending.
The Committee was returned for a further year as there were no volunteers for the posts. Minutes of the AGM will be included in Issue 140 of The Journal.
Thanks to those who made it to the AGM.

PSOTY - 2024 - FINAL 10
26th July 2024
The final 10 signs selected by the Committee are pictured. Members can now vote for their favourite three signs from the selection rating 1st to 3rd. The Closing Date is still to be decided as we were unable to get the final 10 in the latest Journal, so these will appear in Journal No. 141 later this year. Send your selection to me at gormi49@gmail.com Pictured is The Cocky Anchor, Worcester.

LOST Pub Signs
23rd July 2024
In the Members' Area there are 'Lost Signs' from old scanned collections.
If any of you 'sign detectives' know the proper name, location and perhaps date of any sign, just email the page manager. There are some very good ones that need a place in the Archives!
** 'Hanging Ladies' ** coming for August.
These are from scanned prints of photos taken in the 1970-1990's.
A journey back in time to see some really elaborate signs that are sadly missing from the pub scene today.
** Non-member public visitors are now able to view a Lost Signs page to help the Society in our search.
**Click on LS photo link on right** to see all signs, updates and comments.
