Party News from the November 1926 issue of the Socialist Standard
The members of the newly-formed branch in Hull are anxious to get into touch with party sympathisers and all readers of the “Socialist Standard” in that city, with a view to making the party’s position better known. They therefore extend a cordial invitation lo all who are interested in Socialism to attend at the branch meeting-place, advertised on the back page. Friends with a desire for information and opponents with objections to raise are equally assured of an opportunity to ask questions and express their views. The branch holds its meetings every Sunday at 3 p.m., and discussion follows the ordinary business of the branch. Both the ordinary meeting and the discussion are freely open to all who wish to attend.

Three reasons for picking this brief item from the November 1926 for inclusion on the blog:
1) The most obvious reason is that my copy of the November 1926 issue is barely readable. My choice of what to post on the blog from my copy was severely limited.
2) However, it was an opportunity to give notice of an SPGB branch in the North outside of Scotland and the North West. They were few and far between in the 1920s.
3) Dan Billany a few years later was a member of Hull Branch, and not enough people know that.
Note:
The Branch Secretary C. Vinecrad - mentioned above - is listed as Gustav Vinegard in the membership records. (maybe C. Vinecard is someone else or a 'Party name', but I doubt it.) He had two spells in the Party, finally resigning from the SPGB in February, 1940.
