I was so excited that, setting off, I neglected to push in the choke on the Chummy (yes, it needs chock, even in summer) and, as it spluttered and coughed thought, 'Oh, no. Not now. What on earth can be wrong?" For some, this was the culmination of more than one year's diligent work researching, collating, phoning, writing, emailing, calling, collecting and delivering stuff. But I know that everyone involved would not have missed a minute of it - what a great event it was. In 1972, for the 50th, we thought that it would be impossible to do more - how very wrong we were!
