Home > About the Society > Our newsletter
Our newsletter contains mostly short snippets of information, but with a few longer articles. This is a selection of those which seemed significant to the compiler. It mostly omits information about Society meetings and anything which subsequently appeared in our journal, The Orchard, or on our website. It also mostly omits items of passing interest, such as houses and artefacts for sale, unless they contain additional information.
As it is a member benefit, access to the newsletter requires a password. Please contact us if you need a reminder.
