Well, since my last post I have completed the Race for Life in a time of 27 minutes, 35 seconds, which I’m told is very good! I impressed myself, certainly, and have to admit I enjoyed it. Thank you to everyone who so generously supported me, I’ve raised £450 for Cancer Research so far but money is still coming in.
The launch on 1st July has, very frustratingly, had to be postponed. There are acres of red tape and bureaucracy to battle through and it seems that it won’t be completed in time for the launch. It’s a shame as we’ve worked so long and hard to so many deadlines and to have stalled at the last hurdle is dispiriting but there’s nothing we can do about it. Further news about the launch will, therefore, be delayed.
I have very happily completed most of the web-site content although, inevitably, have found more since I finished it. I am making a little list of things to add myself when the content management system is ready. A lovely, if not time consuming, task now is to listen to the six or more hours of interview I have recorded and select pieces of film and audio to include on the web-site. It’s a pleasant enough job but I underestimated how much concentration it takes – there’s no doing two things at once while trying to listen.
Tomorrow sees the start of Goldcoast Oceanfest at Croyde and I will be going along for the Education Day. I‘m very much looking forward to being out from behind the desk but I’m sure I join the organisers in praying for good weather – the forecast doesn’t look too promising at the moment! Yesterday I met Tony Koorlander to discuss the area’s military history and links with America, he’s very interesting and has some fascinating material so hopefully something exciting will begin to take shape there. This week I have also caught up with my millions of emails, straightened the finances, touched base with everyone and made an enormous chocolate cake which, although messy, seems to have gone down well with the girls at the office J
It’s hard to believe it’s nearly midsummer already; roll on the sunny weather....

Hi there, I work for Darlow Smithson TV production company as a producer and am trying to get in touch with Tony Koorlander, who you mention, with a view to discussing his archive footage find. Do you have any contact details for him? If so, could you email me at jamie.crawford@darlowsmithon.com. Many thanks
