\"\"<\/a>I’ve recently been going through the list of recipients of the ‘Golden PAN Award’<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and hope it is now reasonably up to date thanks to a list from PAN. It was mainly the most recent recipients that were missing plus a few dates and venues now added although I did have all the earlier authors included. What I didn’t know was that Jacqueline Graham and Sonny Mehta were the only non-author recipients of a Golden PAN Award<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

I have several copies of ‘Booth’s Handbook of Cocktails and Mixed Drinks’ <\/a><\/span><\/strong>mostly signed, some with errata sheets stapled in and now I have a signed one with a different sticker on the front. It refers to an advertising tie in between Booth’s gin and Longleat which actually featured in a Pathe News<\/span><\/a><\/strong> reel.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Having featured the Alan Hunter ‘George Gently’<\/span><\/strong><\/a> titles last week I had tried to find a usable version of his signature but eventually ended up buying a signed book, namely ‘Fields of Heather’<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/a>which was rename ‘Gently in the Past’<\/strong><\/em> <\/span>in later publications to probably tie in with the TV series although not used. It was while scanning it I found a letter in it from Radio Norfolk saying this was a prize won in their ‘Platform Competition’ an opportunity for individuals to showcase their creative talents whether a budding poet, a stand-up comedian, or a musician participants could upload their work, including comedy, podcasts, poetry, fiction, and more, via BBC Upload apparently.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
