Hello Hingey & Dutchman,
What do you reckon on these rugby programmes? On being awoken by the condors and vultures that abound in Bridgend my thoughts turned to Dutchman and his hobby.I was wondering if Dutchman has thought about starting another hobby How about stamp collecting perhaps??
Regards Don

lol nice one richard , i have checked with another collector who has exactly the same programme and has had it for years and his is the same , mmm the plot thickens

[John Turner]

Just wondering, how do you keep your collection?

Do you get any framed? (framing is what I do - and teach) - If you do then it's sometimes best, especially for prized pieces, to frame a copy, because the printing ink will not be lightfast and the paper will not be archival and the whole thing will self-destruct with the aid of UV light and bad (standard) framing methods and the very best framing methods will only slow the process down.

If you have a scanner that can take the size - use it.

john i put them in programme covers then in a folder. to be quite honest none of them are really valuable the best (in my opinion ) i had was the 1953 wales v all blacks for those in the know the last time we beat them but i had a deal where an ex ball boy from the game swapped me a bundle (roughly 25 50's and 60's progs ) for it the downside is ive spent the last 3 months on e bay trying to get a replacement , you live and learn . the sannner i have takes all sozes and i scan them to computer but that is just to save me looking through them manually.

I think Negri Sembilan prog date could be a misprint (dodgy printers in the Far East you know!). According to Vol VI of Regimental Records 2nd Bn moved to Negri Sembilan area between 8 - 10 Nov 54. Winky Benyon handed over command on 2 Apr 55. (See chronology page xxxiv and xxxv. Maybe match took place on 22 January 1955, not 1954. Page 201 of Records mentions that rugby was played so despite being on operations, like NI, maybe Band and a few others played/supported rugby. According to page 201 Brig Anthony Vivian, then Captain, and Sgt Russell played cricket for Negri Sembilan, 2nd Bn rugby team reached semi final of FARELF cup and several Fusiliers achieved greatness in the boxing ring.
