Newspaper clippings
The club has 6 large books full of old newspaper clippings from different eras. Geoff Chandler has been going though them looking for items connected with the club or other news of interest.
We'll present some of them here. Initially they'll be mostly unstructured but as the collection grows we'll try to put them in some sort of logical order.
