I used to keep scrap books

Although I stopped sticking newspapers cuttings into scrap books a few years ago, I have continued to cut out the majority of press cuttings on local athletics for future reference.

I've made several attempts to stop hoarding things as at some point in our lives we would like to move to a small house. I've already disposed of more than twenty years of Athletics Weekly and converted my old record collection into digital format but if you looked in our attic you would doubt if I have even scraped the surface.

I'm therefore converting all my press cuttings into digital form as one of the next steps. I did the whole of 2008 last night.

There may be a few people who would like to access the information either now or in the future so I'm making it all available online but, be warned, the files are very large.
