Although Olympus won't fetch the same dizzy prices that Pentax often do, you would still do quite well on eBay.
If you are lucky enough to have any of the more unusual and desireable lenses, then you could do extremely well.
No adapter to the best of my knowledge though. To make absolutely sure though contact SRB Griturn who make all adapters known to Man, and probably a few that aren't.

I know Stefan, but thanks for finding it and reminding us all what is right underneath our noses.

Yes, I was expecting better. Despite not being excatly the same subject, I think it showed something interesting. Of course we need more samples of both lenses to draw any firm conclusions.but I'm surprised by the softness of the 55mm f2.

The lighting is actually identical, so any difference you see may be due to the surface reflectivity of the different finishes.
The point is that the new lens is a sharper optic, certainly at f16 and close distances.
The kit zoom is much better than many people realise.

Here's an interesting result. Two shots, both at f16 and 55mm, on the left the result shot with the SMC Takumar 55mm f2 and on the right the result shot with the SMC Pentax-DA 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 WR, taking pictures of each other.

Not the original one I had, but an identical one just purchased from eBay for a few pounds. In perfect condition, complete with new Wein cell. The original cost me £98.50 from Dixons, paid for with my first Barclaycard. It set me on the road...

A thought: your programme is an important indicator of what you have on offer and new prospective members will want to see that. Existing members will download a PDF but I doubt that casual viewers will.
Why not have a Programme tab that just lists your schedule on the page?
Also, a casual glance like I've just made gave me no idea what day and time you regularly meet.
Hope that helps!
