THE BACKGROUND TO TAG

In 1995 'The Bolan Tree' site was visited for an article in a Glossy Monthly Magazine, which truthfully described the site as "More like a shit-hole than a shrine" because of the litter & general air of neglect at the site. Then in 1998 - the press reported that the 'Bolan Tree', had "less than three years" before it would have to be felled! As a result, the T-Rex Action Group (TAG) was formed in 1999, by current secretary Fee Warner.

OFFICIAL LEGAL GUARDIANS OF 'THE TREE'

In 2000 TAG became the legal leaseholders of the 'Bolan Tree' site, Gipsy Lane/Queen's Ride, Barnes, London. The in perpetuity lease includes Full Ownership & Responsibility for the 'Bolan Tree'.

WORK DONE BY TAG

2000 TAG laid steps from the PRS Memorial to the 'Bolan Tree' with a viewing platform around the tree so visitors do not risk injury by standing on the pavement less & narrow road by the tree. TAG has also erected a notice board for messages & saved the 'Bolan Tree' from felling.

2002 Rolan Bolan unveiled a Bronze Bust of his father at the site to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Bolan's death. This Bronze was paid for personally by Fee Warner.

2005 TAG installed FIVE MEMORIAL PLAQUES the four members of T-Rex who like Marc, have passed over. They are: Steve Peregrin Took; Steve Currie; Mickey Finn & Dino Dines & a Memorial Plaque for June Bolan (nee Child) in recognition for her part in Marc's success.

2007 TAG organised a Very Special & indeed Unique Event for its Club Members This was the First Ever Marc Bolan Celebration inside the Sacred Stone Circle of Stonehenge. This was part of a Marc's Mystical Roots trip where Club Members retraced the steps of Marc and the late John Peel to the top of Glastonbury Tor, before dining in a private room at the George and Pilgrims Inn (the oldest Inn in the South West of England dating back to the 15th Century) before heading for the Exclusive, Private booking of Stonehenge where Club Members were entertained by Paul (T-Rex) Fenton and Rob Benson of T-Rex - A Celebration of Marc and Mickey. A Druid Ceremony (Wear a Tall Hat like the Druids) was performed by Stonehenge Arch Druid Rollo Maughfling and Hon. Glastonbury Order of Druids Arch Druidess Victoria Marsden.

The Future TAG will, as always, continue to care for the Tree & the site now Officially Recognised by the English Tourist Board as 'Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine' to keep it a fitting tribute. TAG will also add further Memorial Plaques, though we hope not for a long time!
