As chairman of the trustees of the British Commercial Vehicle Museum, I can reassure them that the museum is properly funded to continue its activities for the foreseeable future.

1 would be grateful to hear from any organisations or individuals who may be able to assist us with a worthwhile cause. The museum is open on Bank Holidays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays until 21 October.

Enthusiasts will find it at King Street, Leyland, Preston, Lancs—Ed.
