Thank you. That’s great, I’ll visit for the first time with my son. I have no idea why I haven’t been yet, although we travel over from Essex. Looking forward to it.

New donation: Note book from the Charlton Athletic Suppoters' Development Association, an early 1960s fundraising group that paid for Charlton's first floodlights.
Sort of an early Valley Gold.
At least one well known surname, Treadgold, on that list of winners.
We have no idea why the matchbox covers but there are pages & pages of them and like stamps they were collected by some in that era.

I noticed what I assume is a typo, the 4th address down states Upper Norwood bandit country, but has been given an SE9 post code?

(Just googled it, Upper Norwood is se19)
The back story is that a women moved into a house near Sparrows Lane 30 odd years ago and found this in the basement.
The previous owner of the house was moving to Australia.
The women decided to keep it but is now moving herself so asked someone to bring it in to the museum.
There were some raffle tickets in the book. Some of the match box top designs are wonderful but can't realistically be removed without damaging the CASDA pages, which is the bit that is of interest to us.
The programme production is going back in house next season and the museum have been asked to carry on contributing a couple of pages so we'll be writing about a different object or collection every week.

The first photo is a postcard of the squad on the Valley Pitch with a life belt from the ship.
