Hatters Historian

A new publication is available to County fans this season, the Hatters Historian. Based on Marcus Heap's mid 1990's magazine it will cover County collectables and memorabilia with some historical features. It will be published by HISC so any money raised will be of benefit to County through donations and sponsorships. We have committed to publishing at least three bi-monthly copies to test the water. If there is sufficient demand we hope the publication will continue for some years.

The 28-page Hatters Historian is available by post and costs £2.00 per issue plus 50p for postage and packaging (it will be sent in a card backed envelope). All postal payments must be made by cheque which should be made payable to HISC and sent to 7 Abergele Street, Stockport, Cheshire, SK2 6HE.

Alternatively you can arrange to collect your copy in person at a game (subject to availability) and pay in cash. Email us at info@scfc-hisc.co.uk if you wish to do this.
