		Geoff Capes - The Big Shot Shot putter Geoff Capes, the biggest man in British sport, retired in 1980. No man has represented Britain more often at athletics, no athlete has won more often for this country and no sportsman has been caught up in more controversy. Now Capes tells his own story. In an honest and predictably frank book, he describes the drugs athletes take, the money amateur athletes earn, the punch-ups and, for the first time, the story from his side of his dramatic disqualification at the 1978 European Athletics Championship in Prague.


		Snippets from the life of a Spaldonian This is a true story, providing a brief glimpse into the life of Francis Brown Hanson. A man who was born and bred in Spalding to a Christian family who had a business background and a history of community work, particularly my grandfather, John Thomas Brown, who was a town councillor for many years, a lay reader and keen bell ringer. His father in turn, came from a family of millers and bakers, a profession carried on by many of his relations in various parts of Lincolnshire at the time. My mother was a school teacher.


		The Organs of St.Botolph's church The first mention of an organ is in 1589, although we know that at least two organists held office before this date. After the suppression of the Guilds in 1547, their possessions were appropriated by Henry, Earl of Northampton and we find that the ‘pair of organs’ were the last to be disposed of in 1589. The church was without an organ for 128 years, until 1717, when Christian Smith erected an organ on a gallery across the entrance to the chancel. In 1820, this organ was rebuilt by Nicholls at a cost of £838 3s 6d., including £140 16s 2d., to Pearson, cabinet maker of Boston, for enlarging the case – the same case we see today.
