QE2 : A 50th Anniversary Celebration, by Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross

[Chris Frame]

Hello everyone.



I am really excited to share with you the details of our new QE2 book designed to commemorate her 50th anniversary.

The blurb:

Fifty years ago the last British built transatlantic liner was launched. Christened by HM The Queen on 20 September 1967, the 963ft-long vessel was named Queen Elizabeth the Second. By the end of that same day, she was already known by her famous nickname: QE2. Fast, smart and sleek, QE2 sailed over 5.6 million miles and carried more than 2.5 million passengers during a magnificent 39 1/2 year career. Put simply, she carried more people further than any ship before her and remains the longest-serving express liner in history. Through words penned by passionate QE2 travellers and with tribute stories from captains, crew and guests, a wide selection of carefully selected photographs bring this wonderful ship to life.

---

It also includes stories from three of the QE2 Story's moderators - Rob, Lynda and Isabelle.

What's upsetting is that it's not due to be released until August so we've got to wait until then

The conference organisers are very kindly working with our publisher to get some flyers at the event for people to get easy access to the book.

We would be happy to have a flyer on the book in the delegate packs at the conference. Chris the person delegated the task to contact me about the flyers has not done so.  I copied you into an email reminder today, maybe you would like to follow this up.

Would it be possible to have the books themselves at the conference?  I'd pick one up there.

Sorry Bob the event committee made the decision not have items on sale on the day.  As you can imagine we had quite a few request to have items on sale.  We made the decision that we did not want to be responsible for handling payments etc.

No worries Lynda.  I'll keep checking for the book here on this side of the pond.
