It has been brought to my attention that there is a 1958 Le Mans program up for sale on a ell know auction site. I would very much like to buy this for our archive. This archive is a pretty informal arrangement at the moment and has been swept together over the years by keen members who have either donated what they had/seen and bought it or we have collected donations from members to buy specific items.
This could fall into this area. I will happy fund this to secure it and we can all talk about it later on.
what I don't want to happen is that we end up bidding against each other.
IF you were thinking of the club then that is very kind of you, If you were thinking of owning it yourself, there's nothing I can do about that as its a free world (although sometimes I do wonder!) BUT if I could persuade you otherwise please get in touch.
IF you just want a copy or just to look and enjoy it (as I would like all my members to do) then that can be arranged. IF we were to secure it I could bring it to meetings etc (so long as it doesn't rain!)
Please let me know your thoughts on this matter and how we might be able to secure it for the greater unwashed
Just a note to all, Duncan secured the 1958 Le Mans program for £119 + eaby charges.
Thanks Michael and Erik for your kind donations from afar and also members who attended our New Year Bash last weekend. We have managed to cover our costs.
In time will scan this and give out (firstly) to all that donated...and then the rest of the great unwashed.
