Hello all,I'm trying to locate/contact signwriters in the Portsmouth/Isle of Wight area of GB.
We are going to be in Portsmouth the month of August this year, and I am doing preplanning so I can visit some local shops, and already have the initial "hellos, etc," out of the way.
I know that Bob Perry is on the Isle of Wight, but don't have any contact info.
Thanks to all who can help, both sides of the Atlantic!!!

G'day John, The only two signwriters that I know in the area you mentioned are....
Bob Perry, Harbour View Cottage, The Mall, Brading, Isle of Wright.....Phone.. +01983 407513 or +01983 853378
Dave Smith and Chris Penny at Signworks, 1A Berchah Rd., Allacombe,Torqay, Sth. Devon.
Phone...+01803214204
John, I think after you dial the International exchange and the 44 for England you drop the first 0....this is only used ringing in the United Kingdom. Any of these characters will be able to tell you if there are more locals close by..
Have a great trip, regards John

John, thanks so much for the info. I'm sure I can work up a Long list of signwriters to visit!! Must remember...this trip isn't ALL about signs, eh!...there's still Real Ale, mountainbiking, Gardens, Villages,surviving on the roads too!!
BTW, I see you are doing the Gold Leaf at Splash in the Pacific in Nanaimo this Sept. What specifically will you cover?? My gold days are aways in the past, and would like to update skills and materials. I'll await your reply, then probably get my loonies over to Susan toot sweet!
Thanks again,
