David well done some amazing bikes from years gone by, The last picture relating to "Players Please" cast me back to the early 60's when I was a member of the Long Eaton Paragon the racing offshoot of the local Long Eaton section of the CTC in the Derby DA. I joined the CTC in 1956 as a 14 year old. At the time Ray Booty's brother Gordon was a member of the LEPCC and worked fro John Player in Nottingham. At the annual dinner we always got JPS cigarettes on the dinner table for indulging after the Loyal Toast. They were the days and how times have changed!
