Merchandising

DO YOU LIKE DATES? We have 365 in one package – it’s a SESSIONS CARTOON CALENDAR for 2019 – and an ideal Christmas present for someone with a sense of humour. Everyone who served in the Royal Observer Corps will remember the wit of Henry Sessions who so vividly captured the triumphs and tragedies of life in the Corps. He died 50 years ago in 1968, and to commemorate his work the ROC Museum has reproduced in a calendar a selection of his cartoons to remind us of the “good old days”. They are available prices £8.99 each including postage and packing, from:-
Tony Maasz, 230 Twyford Road, Eastleigh, Hants SO50 4LF
OR:- Neville Cullingford, 8 Roselands Close, Fair Oak, Eastleigh, Hants SO50 8GN
Cash with order, cheques made payable to The ROC Museum
This is a collector’s item and a limited edition print which is selling fast. Don’t miss it! Laugh you way through next year with a SESSIONS CALENDAR, and at the end of 2019 you can frame the best cartoon and hang it on your study wall.
