GOOD HOME WANTED | BACK ISSUES OF FUNNEL | 26 September 2021 |
Having been a member of the SBA for many years, I possess copies of the back issues of Funnel, journal of the SBA (and a good read to boot,) which I am now looking to re-home with a caring owner. I have a copy of all issues from Number 31 to Number 190 (the latest issue), including the Classified Quick Reference Indexes covering Issues 31 to 175 inclusive. I live in Swanage, Dorset, which would be a long way to travel for most prospective new owners to come and pick them up, especially in these uncertain times, therefore I would be prepared to send them at my expense to any UK mainland address. (Sorry, any interested party from overseas would have to pay postage or collect. Intrepid Steamboaters could consider a sea voyage to Swanage to collect in person). If you are interested in this offer, please contact me, Patricia Platt, by email at patti.platt@btinternet.com or by phone (landline) on 01929 424496. (There is an answerphone facility to leave a message if I’m not in). |
