"How did this all begin" The opening introduction to the booklet by Anne Colman. 
"Had no idea how many units would arrive " " a square to hold 100 hopefully" "To the great suprize and delight of the DA 150 units had dececended" "little did we realise what we had started"
"continuing for so many years" small extracts from the memories from the then chairman
