I like your logo, but I didn't realise it was one; I assumed it was an illustration, seeing that it has no name or acronym to indicate what organisation it represents, and with it not being on the front page of the website. I've added it to the article, as you can see.Neville Grundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923209266005338452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-17536640825490169862014-06-10T09:56:35.028+01:002014-06-10T09:56:35.028+01:00oh and here’s the logo http://www2.beerguild.co.uk...oh and here’s the logo http://www2.beerguild.co.uk/?page_id=4 — point taken though on the form though.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-59750082092244499202014-06-10T09:54:49.928+01:002014-06-10T09:54:49.928+01:00As the Secretary and the gatekeeper of membership ...As the Secretary and the gatekeeper of membership I can assure you that I vet everyone who asks to join — it’s not a case of spending 40 quid and whoops you’re in. I’ve turned down several this year, gently asking them to get some writing experience, whether it’s blogging, CAMRA newsletter, whatever so that the Guild can help them. And it’s in the public domain, ie the newsletter on the website, that the committee has been looking at changing the rules of membership (I’ve actually produced a paper for it) — so a club of boozers’ club it is not. You’re welcome to apply.Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-49299380633874452462014-06-07T19:02:35.938+01:002014-06-07T19:02:35.938+01:00PR people tend to use the membership list as a one...PR people tend to use the membership list as a one stop shop for event invites and sending samples so you'd probably recoup the membership fee in free beer fairly quickly. A free copy of the rather pricy BBPA statistical handbook isn't to be sniffed at, either.<br /><br />Having said that, we're not members.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285162121291357473.post-28869427254476329992014-06-07T18:48:52.612+01:002014-06-07T18:48:52.612+01:00I never thought of that.
