Newsletter Archive

This page is under construction – if you land here please ignore and come back later!

Here you can view and download newsletters more than five years old. We have a complete archive all the way back to the very first Club Newsletter back in April 1986, but for many years these were produced on first a typewriter and then a word processor, so we are scanning them and adding them but it will take a while to complete – please bear with us!

All our newsletters contain details of observations for the period in question, general editorial and other articles of interest as shown below.

You must be a member to access these newsletters. Click here to join, or if you are a member but you haven’t logged in, click here.
