Branch Archive

We have been fortunate to obtain some copies of the Northampton Branch newsletter, Pint Taken, dating back to 1978/9. In those days it was a (mostly) 2-page typed document, very much different to what's produced today. We also have an Old Membership form - £4 a year!! - and campaigning leaflets featuring Courage, John Smith's and Samuel Smith's.

Please excuse the quality of reproduction, but this is what happens when ageing faded documents meet a scanner that's far from cutting edge. Oh, and the techie guy who did it isn't that young either!

If you happen to have any copies of the newsletter and are happy to have them scanned onto the website please get in touch; ku.gro.armac.stnahtron@namriahc
