Raleigh 125th anniversary 2012 - Special Events and appeal for help

Raleigh Heron BadgeDr Carole Mallia who works for the University of Nottingham is researching memories of working at Raleigh, or any experience with Raleigh bikes.

The end product will be a celebration of Raleigh on Jubilee Campus to coincide with the 125th anniversary of Raleigh. It will hopefully include an exhibition of bikes, films and other memorabilia, a bicycle ride around campus and a play written by Hanby and Barrett, based on people's memories. (February 2012 programme available here)

Hanby and Barrett worked with the University to produce a similar community based celebration of the Samworth Academy in Bilborough. You can see them talking about their work below.

If you have any information or recollections then either contact Pedals using the Contact Us link above or Carole directly on Carole.Mallia@nottingham.ac.uk.
