New Club Publication: "Survivors"

[Secretary The M&D and East Kent Bus Club]

The latest Club publication has arrived from the printers, and will be launched at our AGM in Canterbury on Saturday (21st). 

"Survivors" (publication P.61) combines the previous publication under this name with the Preserved Vehicles publication, both of which have been out of print for a long time, but for which we have had occasional requests for an updated edition. It includes details of all former M&D/Arriva, East Kent/Stagecoach, Maidstone Corporation/Boro'Line and Hastings & District vehicles known to the Club: if there's one missing, it means we didn't know about it, and would welcome the information! Fully updated to the February Invicta and with a selection of photographs, we ask only that you part with the sum of £4 to own your copy. 

After the AGM, it will be available on the Club sales stand at the South East Bus Festival. As we have something else waiting in the wings to be launched at SEBF, it would be immensely helpful if anyone planning to order "Survivors" by post could wait until after SEBF, to (if desired) order both at once. This saves postage costs and makes it easier on our Sales Officer. We also intend to have a new Order Form (circular C.1) around that time. 

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Saturday - although we appreciate our meeting being a week later than normal and SEC's spring meeting being a week earlier than normal means we have some competition!
