When we met with Leandro Negre, President of the FIH, at the Hockey Writers’ Club Luncheon last year, he said: ”This haemorrhaging of historical hockey material has got to be stopped.” Yes, Leandro, but how do we stop it?

Within an hour we learned that the collection put together by Don Humphries has been lost since his death. Since then we have also heard that Eric Harverson’s record of the Associate Members’ Club and the records of the Hockey Circle have been lost.

As we have not got these collections we do not know what was in them. There is always a little gem in these collections and sometimes some big ones. They certainly represent three pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that we will never have.

Please, please, if you know of any material, please help to get it to us before it gets binned.

Eric Harverson produced a Newsletter for the Associate Members. It contained regular updates, results and obituaries – a veritable fount of information for us at the museum.

Does anyone have any or all of these newsletters?
