Sorry been away for a few days. I’d like 2 copies please Alan one for me and one for my son who will hand it down to my grandson so Witton will remain in the family for at least the next 2 generations!! UTA
Can we have the book bound better than " Sons of the Albion " ?

Have a word with Mark.

“Sons” is a glossy book and my two copies owned now by my sons are fine. Perhaps you have bent back the spine too often. Anyway, I will be talking to a possible publisher in the next week or two and will have a better idea about what it might look like then. I now have orders for over twenty copies which is very pleasing.
WHS.
Three for me please sire . One for me and other two for my sons
Around 25 ordered already!! I am in touch with two publishers and I will keep you all informed as to progress. I hope to publish in time for the new season but knowing how things can go “Pear shaped” I suppose Christmas is more likely!!

Excellent Xmas present Al - give u more time to perfect it !
I will do my very best.

Now have thirty orders and a publisher!! The books will be about £10 each. Only ordering fifty at present so if you want one and have not ordered you had better do so soon. If I get more orders it may reduce the price per unit. All profits to the club. At £10 each and fifty sold the club would make £150 so place an order if you can and i will do my best to make it a good book!
I am thinking of signing just one copy and then either raffling it off or selling to the highest bidder, what do you think? Mind you my signature might put some of you off!! “Onward and Upwards, a History of Witton Albion” is the likely title as long as we get promotion.
WHS.
One for Graham Beckett please Al !
One for me please Alan
Not sure how I missed this but 4 for me please Alan.
Yes, please, one for me.
Can be left with Reg H. for me to collect from him.
Al - your book should be advertised on the the main site if poss. Gets lost on here sometimes so maybe an advert on the home page as well . Just a thought !
Good idea. Also the Guardian/Our Town magazine when it is ready? There are loads of Wittoners that for whatever reason can’t get to games at Wincham Park or even come onto this site who would probably like a copy.
One for me as well please.
One for me please, Alan
Perhaps it could also be sold through the online shop.
A good thought. It is or has been advertised in a programme.

Can I thank you all for your suggestions I will definitely look to take them all on board. I am delighted to say that I now have pre-orders for nearly 40 books! I will now be contacting my publisher to increase my order from 50 to 75 or maybe a 100. If it sells at £10 50 sales will bring the club £150 and the more ordered the lower the initial cost so more cash for the Club. Many thanks to you all. Be assured I am doing my very best to give you a book to be proud of, not sure it will be as good as George’s but I will give it a go.
