International Doghouse Club Car Badge
Back to section
International Doghouse Club I'm not sure when the International part of the Doghouse Club came about. Being a Publican was not an easy option to work, but it had several benefits. As most household expenses were non existent, and the work evolved long hours, most Publicans Holiday'd abroad. A number also went to Spain and Southern Europe and opened Bar's. It is thought that being "International" encompassed this Foreign brigade who were amongst the more flamboyant. Just why there was ever an "Out" cover, I don't know, but as most of these badges never saw a car and were instead on display behind the bar, putting an "Out" cover over would become a topic of conversation.
