Does anyone have a definitive list of the tabs created by the various societies or is anyone able to point me in the direction of one? And does anyone know exactly how many tabs were created in all?

All I know for sure is that Cliffe constructed an incredibly impressive tableaux consisting of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, with puppeteer Cameron controlling diminutive puppet Clegg. Another society did Obama. But that's it. Any help appreciated.

Cheers. So that's it then? The definitive list, complete? No other effigies at all?

Do you know if there is a photo album of all the previous Cliffe tabs over the years? I've seen one before, but I can't find it anywhere.

The Cliffe produced a DVD photo-record of all available tab footage a couple of years ago. Available from www.cliffebonfire.com if there are any left. Contact Gary Edwards for detils.
