In the next edition are two important and significant updates concerning the Archive material. The Web News section details items from tehhe archive that are now available to be viewed.  Most of these douments are now with the Bus Archive in Droitwich but they have been scanned and available for members to view.  

Secondly,  "The CEC Photos" article describes the work undertaken so far in relation to the Club's photographic collection. It includes details of what has been repatriated from Sheffield. Whilst the article outlines the success of the project it also highlights the mammoth task that lies ahead. If any member feels they have time to spare to assist in some way, please contact the Webmaster.
