The Guild BLOG ... ?

Those of you who have visited The Guild web site will have seen the vast amounts of in depth and up to date information at your digital fingertips.

From the latest Parliament legislation, to the latest licencing laws. If you want to follow the licenced trade, the GOMV web site should be your first stop.

The site is under constant update from Joe + The Guild Committee, who are giving you, the licensee, important news & information that affects your business.

So what is a BLOG? Well, a BLOG, short for ‘Web-Logging’ is a specialised web site that allows an individual or group of individuals to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audiences.

Why does The Guild need one? The Guild Committee are now able to chronoligically share their ‘journals’ with you. More importanly, their own opinions, intepretations, and their less formal ‘take’ on events that are unfolding around the Licensed trade. (What they really think!)

Unlike the formal Guild Web Site, which is a formal fact + news bearing web site, a BLOG is a personal opinion + debate centre. People can read personal thoughts, and either discuss these opinions, or perhaps express their own. It really is freedom of speech at it’s best (providing no extrinsic laws are infringed).

So what does all this mean to me? With all this feedback and freedom to express ones mind, we The Guild, are hoping to understand the licencess concerns, thoughts, opinions, and continue to offer the best representation to you, the licensee.

Why not visit the GOMV web site, and start writing your own thoughts & opinons.:

Perhaps you are unhappy about a latest piece of legislation.?
Perhaps you feel angered about something in the trade?
Perhaps you want your own soapbox, but never had the audience to listen?

Whatever your personal opinion on technology, I implore you to take 30 seconds of your time; ask your children, grandchildren, neighbours kids, whomever, to direct to you to The Guild web site, and see for yourself how useful technology can be.
