Our newsletter will keep you in touch with the group and offers articles from the quirky and light-hearted to the deadly serious. You are very welcome to write an article for us! If you live in or around Cambridge, you are welcome to receive the newsletter by post. It can also be e-mailed to you as an Adobe document. Contact us to go on our mailing list. There is no charge for receiving the newsletter or being a member of the Group but donations are always welcome. Below are some recent newsletters. Up to October 2005, they are Microsoft Word documents. After that they are in Adobe. Let me know if you have any problems with the format and I'll try to help. Generally, the content of the newsletter reflects the meetings over the previous two months. I have not found a good way to catalogue them yet - but just dip in. People say they are a good read.
