An Appeal by 410 McBeeeeeee

There will be a new CD available at next years Reunion, it is called The Copplestone Collection.  There are no prizes for guessing who submitted the photographic material as there is a clue in the title.

I am therefore appealing to anyone else who has a 'stache' of photographs, hidden in the loft underneath the 1958 Health & Efficiency Annual, to release them for a 'public airing'.

I would like to do the scanning process myself as I can also 'clean' up any dog ears or folds that may have reduced the quality of the prints. Please contact me first as it would be advisable to register the postage of such dangerous material prior to sending.
