The current reminiscence group usually meet at Valley Central but today we hosted them in the museum because the founder of the original reminiscence, Andy Soloman, wanted to meet them and see the museum.
And there was a "Holy Grail" moment when Andy Soloman handed over the long missing and presumed lost 1923/24 board minutes that cover the disastrous move to Catford

We're open today and tomorrow from 11 to 2.30

Ive got some rusty old fencing by my drive if it will save you a journey.
Some of the Rem Group guys have started the process of digitising the tapes starting with an interview with Peter Croker, which is now in MP3 format.
The guys are looking at doing around five tapes a week, starting with the tapes of a grandparent of a lifer who was part of the original group, while the museum is converting the reel to reel tape from the Valley clean up day that was also donated by Andy.
The reminiscence group are meeting at the Museum again this Thursday afternoon as their usual venue, Valley Central, isn't available. New members always welcome.
Comments
55 cassette tapes of interviews with members of the original reminiscence group from the 80s and 90s.
These include interviews with fans going back to the 1920s and relatives of two key figures from the very earliest days of the club.
The players interviewed include Les Fell, Derek Ufton, Don Welsh and Sailor Brown.
And there's even a current lifer on the list.
The reel to reel tape contains interviews with of fans at the 1989 Valley clean up.
We now have the task of digitising and catalouging all the tapes to preserve and then present them.
A contract with Humphrey's the builders for the construction of the main stand in 1922.
The cost of the stand nearly killed the club or more accurately our inability to pay for it did and indirectly lead to the move to Catford
