For some time I have been meaning to provide a comprehensive listing of all the significant articles that had appeared in your Newsletter over the years. In the event I was unable to trace copies earlier than Issue 28 (Spring 1974) but at least I have the complete set from that date. Anyone having pre-issue-28 copies I’d be glad to take them off your hands for the archives.
The early Newsletters were fairly basic: the articles were mostly in the form of Committee Reports and few were attributable to individuals.
It is interesting to observe the evolution of the house style over the years and I’ve no doubt it will continue to evolve. For instance, the editorial made its first formal appearance in Issue 35 in 1978 and signed articles as a regular feature appeared from about Issue 50 in 1985.
The index is on the website:

Do have a look – maybe it will stir some old memories.
