We have been asked to pass on the following message from QPR in the Community Trust and the Octavia Foundation.
Hopefully some of you guys can help out with this:
Dear QPR Fans groups!
The QPR in the Community Trust and the Octavia Foundation have teamed up to deliver the Story of QPR – a multimedia heritage and volunteering project, documenting the history of the club and the surrounding area.
We are currently planning an event to take place at Loftus Road Stadium in October, which will be an opportunity for fans and local people to come together, share memories and celebrate what the club means to them. Andy Rees, Customer Services Officer at QPR has given me your details, as he felt that you might be able to support with this please.
As part of the event, we will be curating a small exhibition of QPR related memorabilia objects and photographs from the club’s inception to the present day, and we are hoping to get in touch with people who might have relevant items that they are willing to loan to us for the duration of the event (or be willing to let us photograph in advance, if they are too precious to be displayed).
There are three key themes to the exhibition, which are:
Lucky Charms
Do you have any handmade mascots? A hat you wear/wore to every match? A flag or
banner you can’t be seen without? Any customised items?
W12 Heritage
Any documentation about the local area? Evidence of cultural change around White
City and Shepherds Bush? Items or photographs that encapsulate the community of W12?
HOOPS History
Highlights of key events throughout QPR’s history.
Special programmes from famous matches? Signed items? Personal photos?
We are after special objects that will bring the heritage of QPR and W12 alive – items with personal significance, items which are one-offs, items which illustrate how much the world of football has changed, and also how much of the culture is passed down through the generations, items which show the global reach of the club, and how much a part of the local community it remains.
We are therefore calling in the experts – you all – to support with this please if you are able.
If you, or any fans you know have such items, we would love to hear from them please. Of course it makes things easier if they are London based, but if not, we will see what we can do…..
Many thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Kindest regards,
Emily Williams
