Searching for Mosney materials.

    Hi all.

    Im currently putting together a huge project regarding the closed holiday camp that was known as Mosney. Now a derelict asylum seekers camp, the site used to host thousands of Irish holidaymakers every summer from the 1960's, until it was bought by the Irish government in 2000.


    What im looking for is something very specific which i have had trouble seeking for quite a while now. Every year (around Febuary-March time), the company posted out a 4 page brochure with booking form to all registered addresses that stayed at the camp in previous years. Im desperately seeking an original copy of each year from 1990 to 1999. I have scoured the net and cant find a single thing for these late years in the camps history, so im trying to reach out to as many people as i can and urge anyone who may have one of these old brochures lying about to possibly send it to myself.


    To also extend a request to this, i am also looking to obtain an original copy of the camps on-site programme that could be bought for £1 whilst you stayed there. In these programmes you were given a day to day description of all the events taking place around the camp and times of which they took place. Again im looking for any original copy from the years 1990 to 1999.


    I understand this may seem like an impossible task, hence why its important to myself to reach out to as may people as possible to perhaps trigger someones mind out there that may have one of them in an attic somewhere. Id be willing to negociate a small price if anyone was to come across what im looking for. Also if anyone has any tips on increasing my chances of finding what im after..... all help is greatly appreciated!


    Also could any moderators move this topic if they feel it would be better suited in another section of the forum? I maybe think i should have placed this in "all things retro" but i wasnt sure.

    Thank you :-)
