After-piece bringing the story up-to-date by Ian Meyrick - author of Oxfordshire Cinemas. Over 170 pages. Fully indexed.

Expected to be ready for the AGM in December.  Please keep checking.

Sales Officer to stand down after seventeen years service

After 17 years of efficient and dedicated work, Stuart Smith has resigned with effect from 1st November, taking our gratitude and thanks with him.

We are, therefore, in need of a new SALES OFFICER to send out our publications as and when ordered.

We cannot continue as a society and publisher without the income from our books, so our need is urgent. Will any member volunteer? Preferably someone fit, keen and perhaps retired (or working part time) with a spare room in their house for the stock. Computer literacy would be a great help. Unpaid, of course, like all our posts and committee. Please contact the Chairman, Treasurer, or Administrator for details of what the post entails.

Acting Sales Officer: Mervyn Gould
