Heritage Library

The Books plus videos, newspapers, magazines, posters, etc, which have been donated to the Club's collection since 2006 is still growing and will eventually become the library/archive. All are currently being kept in special climatically and dust extracted controlled storage. We have even been given a Battle of Britain jigsaw puzzle!

Some books in duplicate, or even more in a few cases, but these are all welcome, they could provide us with books to sell in a Heritage Centre shop when established.
