Save our pubs and clubs ...

Over the past week or so we have been busy signing, addressing and posting hundreds of Christmas cards. Copies of the Forest/Save Our Pubs and Clubs card (above) have been sent to politicians, journalists, broadcasters and other opinion formers.

Today we sent an electronic version to supporters of the Save Our Pubs and Clubs campaign. If you didn't receive it you haven't registered your support. Click HERE now!

Note: inside the printed version of the card it reads: "This year 52 pubs up and down the country closed each week ... Save Our Pubs and Clubs: amendthesmokingban.com".

On the back cover is a copy of the poster we shall be distributing to pubs and clubs in the new year. Under the headline "52 pubs are closing each week!" it reads:

The public smoking ban continues to be a major factor in the closure of pubs, the loss of thousands of jobs and the decline of local communities.

Amend the smoking ban - if your business or social life has suffered since the introduction of the ban, please join our campaign.

We'll have more news of the campaign in the new year. Watch this space.
