    @Henry Irving, would the museum need this for its archive or do you already have a copy?

    banana for scale.

    Yes, we have no bananas but we do have that handbook, thanks 

    We'll happily take it, the handbook, but we'd sell it to raise funds for the museum

    You have no bananas for sale?

    No worries, I'll hold onto it in that case - it's a nice thing to have.

    Hi……just a quick question Henry.
    Why does the museum close at 1.00pm on Saturday match days?
    If people want to drop items off they would need to plan to be with you say 12.30 latest…..that’s a long time to be hanging around until 3.00pm.
    I’m sure there’s a reason, just curious what it is?

    All the trustees and volunteers need a drink to watch Charlton.

    The real reason is that the museum is inside the turnstiles so people could enter the stadium by saying they were going to the museum. So we have to close before the turnstiles open.

    I'm sure we'd get a lot more visitors if we could open closer to KO but not possible currently

    One day we'll have our own street level entrance but until then it is what it is.

    Also people can leave stuff in main reception at any time.

    We have to close at 13.00 as that is when the turnstiles open. Visitors could walk straight from the museum into the ground. Not ideal we know. Donations could be left at main reception after 13.00 , as long as it is not a large donation.

    I love the old handbooks from the 50s and 60s - they make a connection with a completely different era of the club, before I was born, and there were enough of them printed that there's usually one or two on offer on ebay reasonably cheap. During lockdown I bought a few that the museum were selling off and got fascinated by them.

    One of these days when I've got Friday off, or am working from home, or am actually organised on a Saturday when we're playing at home I will pop in Henry, and you have my word on that.
