Hi Paul, The books that Ian refers to are a set of three slim volumes of memories written by some of the members of this list. It was suggested that they should be published, and one book was envisaged. However more material poured in and in the end the result was three volumes. Ian, with publishing experience, volunteered to edit and publish them. Any profits go to charity. They are presently being distributed to the purchasers, with a complimentary copy going to contributing authors. Of course, I am prejudiced, being a contributor, but mine arrived on Saturday and I have had my nose in the books ever since! My family dip into them each visit and are most intrigued. They are modestly priced at £7.50 plus PP. for list members. Ian at !RHUCKIN@aol.co will give you the gen if you are interested. You won't be sorry if you decide to buy! Also, welcome to the list.Our Administrator is temporily unavailable, due to computer problems and moving house/locality. She will be back shortly and it can't be too soon We miss her! This is a very friendly group, and the style is somewhat different to that of other lists I'm on, but it is my favourite one, as our Administor takes an interest in her members and leads with a loose reign.Make no mistake, help is always given with genealogy matters, but we also like the "meat on the bones" info---and all given with generosity and good humour. Also, complimentary to this list there is the Banburyshire Website at------- www.rootsweb.com/~engcbanb/index.htm started by Rosemary Probert. It got off to a fine beginning but has had to be shelved for awhile due to an urgent personal matter, and will continue, later. In the meantime there is some interesting material, including photographs. for your perusal, if you wish. I hope that you like Banbury list and stay with us. Enjoy! Regards, Muriel.
