Aims of the Society
The Society has a membership of around 300, with the majority resident in the U.K., and with members in France, Germany, Norway, Australia and the USA. Membership is open to all those interested in discovering information about inn signs and pub names - collectively referred to as inn-signia.
Before joining the Society most members thought themselves to be alone in their interesting hobby. Only when they did join came the realisation that many others shared their passion.
A particularly enjoyable aspect of inn-signia is the innumerable choice of topics in which members can specialise if they so wish. Others prefer to collect signs of a county, or relating to a specific brewery.
