Fellow TNFers,
does anyone know how to contact the above organisation,now that it is under the umbrella of MSV? I know that it has moved to Watton,as Martin Hadwen was unwell,but have heard little of it since.Such a great source of information must be available to "anoraks" such as myself?
Can anyone help,please,
Regards to all,

Sadly, my good friend Martin Hadwen passed away in October, 2010.

Shortly before that he had arranged for the Archive to pass into the care of MSV, thanks to the good offices of Jamie Hopper, Snetterton Circuit Manager. He too was a good friend to Martin & a supporter of the Archive. It is in good hands with Jamie, but quite what MSV's long-term plans are I don't know, as I haven't spoken to Jamie for a while.

You are right, it is too valuable a resource to lose - I should know, a fair chunk of it came from me when I cleared out before moving across the Channel!

If you want to know anything I suggest you contact Jamie Hopper at Snetterton
