The photocopies were made so that the [radio] plays could be performed at "William Days" in 1994-2005. The photocopies all contain annotations or notes made in preparation for these "William Day" performances.
[One of Richmal Crompton's "Just William" radio plays was performed at each annual "William Day", but scripts used for performances in 1998 and 1999 are not present in this series.]
