2021 Book News Welcome to Our 2021 Book News
2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020. -

Stirring names were often selected, such as Sovereign, Tally Ho!, or Enterprise. Martin Higginson This paper is based on presentations by the author at a York University Business History Workshop on 16 September 2016 and at the R&RTHA Coventry meeting on 29 October2016 Since the earliest days, transport operators have sought to distinguish their offerings from those of other providers. At its most local level, the operator would be known personally to his customers: Farmer Giles’ cart taking local passengers to the market along with his own produce or livestock. Today, some customers may prefer their local taxi firm, whose drivers they know by name and trust. Traditionally, country bus drivers and their regular passengers know one another. When passenger transport operations become more removed from the communities they serve and more impersonal, for example inter-town services, alternative means of attracting custom become necessary. This is where marketing and branding begin.

After a brief AGM, the real business of the day was kicked off by new director Amy Graham. Amy presented findings from a project carried out as part of her Master’s degree in ‘Heritage (Contemporary Practice)', which she completed at Kingston University. The project, Bus Travel and the Heritage of Everyday Life, focussed on the number 213 bus route – her regular commuting journey from her home in Worcester Park to Kingston upon Thames for her work as a Local History Officer as well as for her studies. With outward and return journeys taking an average of one hour each way, Amy had plenty of time to observe the world in and around the bus, listen to stories from her fellow travellers, and write up her findings in a series of field notebooks (a description of some of the work in this Newly-elected Director Amy Graham “becomes” the 213 bus project appeared in our August 2014 issue). as part of her research. The overarching theme of Amy's project is that London bus route 213 connects Kingston and Sutton, transport history is everyone's history, and this feeling and first ran on the 7th of September 1921; currently is intensified on public transport, buses in particular, buses run every six to eight minutes throughout the where we are more or less forced to interact with our day, passing Kingston Hospital and then travelling fellow travellers, rather than being isolated from them through New Malden, Old Malden, Worcester Park, when travelling in private cars. -
