Up until 1977/78 Odhams outings arrived in the morning, a few drinkies in the club, back aboard the coach, a few locals(me included) and off to Lingfield, Goodwood or Brighton for an afternoon at the races, back to Effingham, food laid out and back to London, normally out of their trees!! Wonderful days, long gone. Can't add anything sensible. But it was fun, Derek in France

	From a quick google, it seems they produced newspapers and magazines too - I only know of them in connection with books. Jay
