Additions To The Library
Compiled by ‘Wig’
This list of items placed in the club library is additional to the Library List published in September 1972.
Members having material not listed below and would otherwise be destined for the dustbin or to collect dust on the book shelf, would they consider giving it to the Library. The present collection is among the largest on Mendip, but there are a number of incomplete runs, particularly amongst the various club exchanges in the decades 1940's and 1950's.
During the past few years, Tim Large and myself have been collecting newspaper cuttings and magazines containing references to caving and climbing activities. All of this material is being pasted up in a scrap book. In addition to this collection I've been given by Fred Stone, a retired designer at B.A.C. Filton, a valuable collection of cuttings, letters, Christmas Cards dating from about 1946 to the early 1950's - a very welcome addition to the Library. Will members keep a sharp look out and send any useful references to either Tim or myself.
