I've been collecting programmes for a while and some are just too cool to stick in a box and hide away. Photos weren't easy to use in days gone by so most were someones artwork of the up to date machines of the time. Nowadays it's cool retro art.
I've made a few into canvas style wall art, 400 x 300 x 30mm
$28 each, 2 for $50 or three for $70, plus postage.

Here are a couple of things Connie did using her scroll saw. Despite having really bad arthritis she does a wonderful job.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but have just rediscovered my programme for the 1969 IOM TT - front cover scan attached.

It brings back a lot of memories and at 3 shillings and sixpence for 65 pages, plus a scorebook and a large fold-out map, it was bloody good value for money. Some of the adverts are hilarious in the context of today. The one inside the cover has the headline, "Lucas accessories - makes a good bike better" :killingme. The latest Everoak "jet" style helmet would set you back 1 pound 10 shillings according to the ad. Another advert asks, "Are you man enough for Triumph?".

Endless fun and happy memories of riding like a twat round the circuit at 6am one day on my Tiger 100. Clearly man enough for a Triumph:nono:
