Today is Telegraph Pole Appreciation Day

Happy Telegraph Pole Appreciation Day.


We met Martin Evans, founder of the Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society, at a Dull Men's Club gathering in Preston a few year ago.

Who knew there was such a thing. But obviously and quite rightly so there is.

There is also a Telegraph Pole Appreciation Day, and that day is today.

The same day as Miniature Golf Day.

Have a happy day whether you're celebrating either, or both.

The Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society

At the recent Dull Men's Club gathering in Preston I had the chance to meet Martin from the Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society. Who knew there was such a thing. But obviously and quite rightly there is.

Check out Martin's website and recent blog post about a telegraph pole I spotted on our visit to the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway heritage steam railway.

Interestingly (for some) Telegraph Pole Appreciation Day and Miniature Golf Day both fall on the 21st September each year.
