To celebrate
the Homes of Football Exhibition at The Forum in Norwich, Â鶹Éç Voices
and the Norwich City Football Club Historical Trust have teamed up for
the first ever Norwich City FC Antiques Roadshow at The Forum in Norwich.
Ìý
It takes place on Sunday (26 September) from 10.00am
to 2.00pm. Entry is free.
ItÂ’s a chance for people to show their Canary memorabilia to members
of the trust and have them valued by antiques experts Mike Hicks and
Andrew Bullock.
Ìý
It may be a signed football, letter from a player,
a referee's whistle from a winning match. It's also an opportunity to
have a go at recording your own sports radio commentary.
The trust hopes to set up a museum at the club and is keen to hear from
people willing to donate or loan items to their collection.
Ìý
It is possible that those 'tucked away' items people
have been keeping in drawers and attics could end up pride of place
in a future Norwich City Football Club museum.
The trust already has items such as medals and caps from Joe Hannah,
one of the all time Canary legends. He was born
in Sheringham and toured Australia as part of an FA selected team in
the Twenties.
Ìý
It has a tracksuit top worn by manager Dave Stringer,
as well as shirts off the back of players who took the team into the
Premiership this time around.
The trust will bring some of these with them – and ex-Canary favourite
Bryan Gunn has also promised to loan items from his own personal collection
especially for the day.
Ìý
So even if people don't have their own memorabilia,
they can still come along and see what others have got, as well as viewing
treasured mementoes from the club's past.

As an additional attraction to the Antiques Roadshow,
between noon and 2.00pm people can also try their hand at football commentary
with the help of Â鶹Éç Radio Norfolk's Chris Goreham.

Â鶹Éç Voices and the Norwich City Football Club Historical
Trust will be giving people the chance to add their favourite pictures
and memories to the album they are building on bbc.co.uk/norfolk.
Ìý
It is made up entirely of photos taken by fans - from
this season and decades gone by.
If people have material that the trust might be interested in, call
Club Secretary Kevin Platt on 01603 617411.
