Old documentation

From terry Aspinall:-

If I can help you with the Norfolk Club history, I will. I was a member for several years. Like I said I did their magazine for them, and in order to make it more appealing I went colour during a 6 month period. My wife and 2 children hand coloured the front page logos ect with crayons. Used to take us three nights to do about 60 copies. Unfortunately I never kept any when I left the UK. I think I told you before that when I left I gave Pete Bowden a couple of cardboard boxes full of historical information going back to 1973. At that time I claimed that I had every manufacturers leaflets ever printed, I believe Pete might have handed it all over to Rob Fox (not sure of name)
Catch You later
Terry.

Hi terry.
I have now collected all this stuff from Rob. By heck theres some stuff in there! I never new there a was a US mag called "Hang Gliding Weekly"
I have had a quick look at some of this stuff, and it will take an age to sort it all out. What doesn't help is there are a lot of old news letter with little clue as to the date.

You may be interested to know that i meet up with Greg Thompson Just before xmass (2006). I'm hoping to see him again soon. He has given me a few more vids to sift through. OH MY GOD! :-)

Looks like I'm going to be a bit busy over the next few weeks reading and watching.

Best of luck Phil you have almost 12 years of history there.
Wish I'd had it when I wrote my Autobiography.
I know I keep promising to send the scanned newspaper cuttings, but they will be coming very soon.
Been a little busy setting up 2 new websites, but once January is out of the way I'll have a clear run to catch up on all the promises.
Like the site its coming along
