I don't do Facebook as a rule but I made an exception this time. Great stuff Rog. Have you access to Alan's photos? Is there more coming? I reckon the bloke on the Savage might be Bob Buys who used to own Mooroolbark Motorcycles. Keep 'em coming. J

Yes, Jerry ...   I have a box of negs which has hitherto been wasting away in MA attic.  It will take
months to scan them.
  Sadly, the vast majority are of poor quality - and 96% are of C-graders. (That's where his money was.)
He just kept clicking pix on same jump, of certain C-graders who must've pre-ordered photos.  For every
100 I scan, one decent A-grade pic turns up.
  I planned with Drakey to put them on Facebook.  Bookface allows me to add them as 'Albums'.
So, I can add an album for each event.  Sigh - I wish there was more gold in there.  (But I was stunned
to see the Landman pix at Sunbury - awesome history)
Anyways - I'll keep scanning as time allows.
  Better to have them on internet, rather than in a box in some South Melb attic.

Update: Twelve meetings have been posted (in Facebook Albums on the page).
With about 14 more to go ... it's a lengthy process
