Our latest book: Harry Dolman – the millionaire inventor who became “Mr Bristol City” was launched at Ashton Gate Stadium with around 150 people attending. Among them were current Bristol City football club management, former players, people who worked with Harry Dolman at his business Brecknell, Dolman and Rogers and members of the Dolman family. Marina Dolman OBE signed copies of the books along with authors Martin Powell and Clive Burlton and stories of Harry’s life and times were told by many who knew him. Memorabilia, including a propeller from the plane Harry built in his own living room and the trademark hat he wore to matches were on display. The book has been selling fast.
