    Fenland; The Horseshoes [Silk Willoughby]

    Gainsborough: Three Horseshoes [Scotten]

    Grantham: The Lord Harrowby [Grantham]

    Louth: no entry this year.

    Peterborough: no entry this year

    Scunthorpe: no Entry this year

    Can branches that have submitted entries please arrange for a judge(s) to survey the pubs, including your own branch entry, and provide results asap, end of May latest. Check opening times for the pubs before visiting as some have restricted opening. I mentioned at the meeting that I was attempting to compile a map of the current branch areas.

    Here's a link of what I have so far for inspection. I'm sure there are errors so I expect corrections, either as descriptions or, if you wish, I can send a link to an editable map of your area which you alter.
