BHS on Radio

I was asked to talk on the radio last Sunday (22 Jan) - BBC Radio Solent (not quite Radio 4, but still)

The idea was to do about 25 minutes on the breweries of the Isle of Wight. In the end I didn’t manage to say much at all about the Island’s breweries - I spent about 3 days biting my finger nails and brushing up on facts and figures, really to no avail. Still, it was an experience and we spent much of the time chatting about the BHS, so I am awaiting a flood of new members!

The programme was Bruce Parker’s Magical History Tour and was looking at the South’s pubs, breweries and vineyards - the link is http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00mtshy should you wish to see more, or even listen for a while. As you will hear, having been called by the programme staff, we got off to a terrible start when he couldn’t hear me - presumably a button needed pressing at their end, but it wasn’t good for the nerves.

It also included an interview with Jeremy Pope (of Eldridge Pope), David Jones on Cowes pubs (he has just produced an excellent book on this topic) and Dave Goddard on Southampton’s pubs.

I don’t think I shall be giving up the day job (retirement)

Cheers

Our own history

It occurred to me that as a history society we should really make a point of recording our own! Especially as our 40th anniversary is coming up in a couple of years’ time

If you have any memories of the early days of the BHS, or any documentation (other than Newsletters, which we have), we would love to hear from you.

Thanks

Jeff
