  • 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.

Ltd. 1935 -1968 The roots of the Brighton, Hove and District Omnibus Company can be traced back to the 12th September 1884, when the Brighton, Hove and Preston United Omnibus Company was formed to amalgamate the interests of the major horse bus operators in Brighton. When Brighton Corporation introduced tram services in 1901, the Company, although not competing with the Corporation trams directly, decided the time was right to begin replacing the horse buses with motor buses. By 1910 there were around 40 vehicles of varying types in operation, and in 1911 the Company obtained powers to operate trolleybuses, although the powers were purchased by Brighton Corporation in 1913.
