    Hello all .
    A Facebook group that I admin for and it's members are organising a light up for Terry the Tilley man , thought it would be good to share in the forum as Terry has posted in the forum many times .
    Thanks marten

    All credit to John Stevens for the idea and the words

    I’d like to take this time to ask for your help in a very worthwhile event,
    As I’m sure most people are already aware the Tilley man (terry pownell) recently posted about selling up due to his illness
    I know most of us on these groups only have a link through our love of Tilley and other makes of lamps ,
    Well terry is certainly a great knowledge of anything pressure lamp related and is only too happy to send parts or just give advice on problems with them ,
    I would like everyone on theses groups from far and wide to show our appreciation and support to terry pownell and his loverly wife Jo by having a mega lamp lighting next Saturday 24 June at 7 o’clock in the evening UK time, to show them we as lamp collectors are thinking of them both and wishing them well
    Please support this light up as I know it will mean a lot to someone like terry who has a real passion for our hobby
    Look forward to seeing all your pictures next week hopefully

    Here's the lanterns and heater I posted on Facebook that evening. The R1 and AL-15 were bought on Terry's open days at his Chester warehouse.
