If anyone has an old, comfy armchair that they would be willing to donate, we would be delighted to collect and use it. We are still making progress, helped by our marvellous volunteers, with digitising our archives with the intention of making them available to members on the internet. So far, we have digitised about 25% of our photographs and a greater percentage of documents. We are also wading through our documents and found the following advertisement printed in the 1800s by Longman, Hythe, Southampton. e text reads as follows (with the original spelling): “ROGER GILES Surgin Parish Clark & Skulemaster. Groser & Hundertaker. Respectably informs ladys & gentleman that he drors teef without wateing a minit, applies laches every hour, blisters on the lowest tarms. and vizicks for penny a peace. He sales Godfather’s kordales, kuts korns, bunyons, doctors osses, clips donkeys wance a munth and undertakes to luke arter every bodies nayls by the ear. Joes-harps, penny wissels, brass kanelsticks, fryin pans and other moozikal hinstruments hat grately reydooced figers.
