I, for one, would love to have access to this material. I find anything like this most interesting as it reminds me of watching some of the "Working Boats" in the Tipton area of the West Midlands many years ago. Would someone be willing to "gather and edit" this together and make a CD for private distribution to club members available? I would be most willing to re-imburse any costs (Including postage etc.,) and I would also be pleased to do this "up front", maybe even help in some way perhaps?. Anyone willing to take on this task? Hoping for a positive result on this one, ~Allan~ nb.Pengalanty
