The Little Pub Trail 1998

With

Murphy's Irish Stout

For the Sacred

Tipton Plate

The following text is taken directly from the 1998 passport, which you should collect from a Little Pub

To celebrate the tenth year of the famous Little Pub Trail we have joined up with Murphy's Irish Stout to make this year's run for the Superb Tipton Plate totally Free. In addition we are making it more accessible to everyone by reducing the distance you have to travel. All you have to do this year is to visit only ten of the selected Little Pubs listed below and have your passport stamped by the manager of each pub. The passport must be filled out with your name and address before you start. When you have completed the trail simply sencd in your passport and you will receive the superb Tipton Plate absolutely free.

The Tipton Plate is fired from the hand painted original authentically depicting a music night in the Pie Factory in the Moyen Age. The Plate will be limited to the numbers completing the trail after which no more will be produced making it a unique collectable which will soon become a family heirloom.

IMPORTANT: The Passport and Plate are strictly limited to one per person. A person may only have one passport stamped and must be a genuine customer having at least a drink.

Little Pubs in the 1998 Pub Trail

Other Little Pubs to Visit

Many people felt that the pub trail was becoming too big for the average couple to travel round. So this year we have singled out some of the Little pubs which have a particularly food restaurant aspect, for a seperate 'Pub Food Trail' which wil1 again be free and have a superb prize and will be organised later in the year as some of these pubs are being refurbished. Meanwhile don't forget these pubs........

Member of the Ancient and Nobleish Society of the Little People

When you have completed the trail you will automatically by osmosis become a member of The Ancient and Noble Society of The Little People and will be advised by post of the society's activities, Pub openings etc.
