Newsletter Archive

We have started loading an archive of the Groups Newsletters here, starting with the more recent and working backwards in time. The Newsletters contain quite a few pictures and whilst they have been compressed some files are larger than others. The file size is given in the description to give and idea of dowload times but none should take too long on a broadband connection. If you want to work with the file in the future you may wish to save it to your computer.

INSTRUCTIONS

You can read the document by clicking on the newsletter name. The newsletter will open in a new window. Give it time to load but it may be necessary to use the page up and down keys on your keyboard to bring it to life.

SEARCHING
