Hope there is a great turnout-and hopefully another can be arranged of an evening or weekend.http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/…/story-25…/story.ht Edited January 20, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutchstart05 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 After a very busy week I have just seen this thread. We had a fantastic day with over 500 visitors squeezing into what is a very small library. We even got coverage on the Westcountry ITV news. Its a shame that we had to stage in on a Wednesday but that is the only day the library is closed. we appreciate that workers were unable to attend. However Lee Rawlings, the library manager, who did great job in setting up the event, has asked us back to celebrate the 86th anniversary of the first Exeter meeting in 1929. This will be an illustrated talk on Monday 9th March starting at 7.00pm. Due to the size of the library numbers are strictly limited so tickets should be obtained direct from the St Thomas Library. Lee reports that half the tickets have already gone, but we will run a repeat event if there is enough demand which suspect there might be.

Clutchstart05 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Whoops. I think I pressed the wrong key. Anyway the phone number for the library is 01392-252783. The beauty of using the library is that they have some great technology so as well as displays of old photo prints we also had five computer screens showing over 200 Exeter speedway slides on a loop plus the Re Run End of an Era DVD running all day. Several people wanted to buy it so hopefully Steve G has had plenty of orders. It was indeed a most enjoyable day and as always I am very grateful to Rob Doran who brought along a car load of memorabilia from his museum as well as one of Scott Autrey's bikes. An amazing amount of historic material was brought along by visitors, the most impressive being five tiny photos which we had never seen before of, we think, a pre first meeting practice session at the County Ground in 1929. Hopefully we will be able to show them on 9 March. Thanks for all the interest Tony L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
