• ================================= 
• During the organisation of the Campaign archives, we occasionally come across strange verbal ephemera some of which we'll put on the website, just for fun! They will generally be put in the Archive Index section. Here's one from July 1999: "Mac Hatter & the Gutterfly by Jerry Lydon; The continuing saga of Mad Mac and his Multiplex".
• Crystal Palace Campaign Archives (B38): as we organise the Campaign archives, we find material of interest ,worth bringing to your attention... here is one such document, compiled by the Campaign - "... development proposals from 1937": This piece uncannily illustrates a debate which could almost be a record of some events taking place right now in the Stakeholders' Forum.

• "As you read these words, a developer is eyeing up your park. Where you see grass he sees a lucrative housing scheme. Of course, it will be nicely dressed up. Only 'X' per cent of the park will be taken. Survey work has shown that part of the park to be under-used. The scheme will raise 'Y' million pounds of which some will go to building a new playground at the other end of the park. And of course there will be the new community centre for local people. The local authority, which would never sell off its assets for short term gain, sees the public interest in this and gets talking. Before you know it, hey presto, your park is for sale and you will have to spend tens of thousands of hours campaigning to save it. "There is a better way......"
