I’m Backing the Pub

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Back the Pub‘I’m Backing the Pub’ – write to your MP

The Chancellor of the Exchequer will be introducing his next Budget in the coming weeks, and with it the threat of even higher taxes on beer, despite all the damage that this will do to our industry.

You can make a difference by sending an email to your local MP asking them to back the campaign. This is very easy to do:

· Click on www.backthepub.com
· Type your postcode into the “Petition Your MP” box and click “Go”
· The Petition your MP page will now come up identifying your MP
· Type your name and email address into the two boxes at the top of the screen
· Type your address into the boxes at the bottom of the screen
· Click on “send message”.

It’s that easy.

Then, please pass this message on to your own friends and contacts, and encourage them to do the same. The more support this campaign receives, the more chance we have of persuading the Government to abandon plans for more increases in beer duty in the forthcoming Budget.

Thank you for your help,

The ‘I’m Backing the Pub’ Campaign

Google Streetview comes through Trefriw

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Some of you may have been aware of Google being busy driving all over the country last year to take photographs of everything. They call it Streetview.

Today, they have published their content for around 98% of the UK, they say.

I have embedded the Streetview view of Trefriw on the homepage, so do feel free to have a wander about the village :)
