Boris
Quick question Boris, do you know of any Programme fairs coming up soon or of anyone who is interested in purchasing any programmes.
There's no fairs coming up locally that I'm aware of. There's one in Kensington, West London on Sunday and others coming up in Portsmouth and Wolverhampton before the big one in London on 5 May.
As for buying progs, I guess it depends what you've got! I'm always interested in Headington progs or rare OUFC ones, but if they're standard OU league issues then your best bet is either ebay or maybe putting a message on TIU.

Two queries for all you programme collectors.
1- Is there a technical term like philatelists for stamp collectors?.
2 - On the TonyKempster forum there is a thread about insults in programmes, and I mentioned the OUFC programme where the ghost-written manager notes had an acrostic spelling out W----R for the capitalised letters of each paragraph. I thought it was a game towards the end of the Kemp era, and had seen the relevant page scanned in by someone on their facebook page. I think it was a previous programme editor but don't know who. An Oxford fan PM'd me asking which programme it was. Any ideas?

1. I think the collective noun is probably something along the lines of programmophile, although in my case I prefer "historical researcher".
2. Can't remember the specific programme, but the editor was one David Crabtree.

I started going to watch OUFC in 1970 so that is an indicator of how far back the programmes go although my dad and brother were going before that. I have also managed to gain a small collection of other clubs programmes from around the country so what i am going to do is compile a list and when i do i will put it up on here. Bear with me.
Somewhere i have the Blackburn and Preston cup ties from 1964, anyone know if they are worth anything. (Serious replies only to this please!!)
