WBU Newsletters

The Newsletter was revived in December 2009 with Jill Knight editing and Laura Woodruff doing the layout. Jill has now retired and Laura is also editing. Read the latest version by clicking on the most-recent-dated link in the table below.

Writing for the Newsletter. We are always interested in Articles that members might like to contribute for the Newsletter. If you do, it is helpful but not essential to follow this advice on formats and contents which Laura has prepared (available also as an MS Word file, so you can grab a hand example) (revised 6/11).

Until 2005, the WBU published a Newsletter which was also distributed free to all members, through the clubs. Here are the editions we have been able to find, in PDF format. To obtain a PDF reader, see the box on the lower left of the screen.

I am particularly indebted to Noelle Bond who lent me her extensive collection of Newsletters, which I have scanned and made accessible through this page. And to Linda Greenland who has filled most of the gaps.

Do you have any other editions that fill the gaps which I can scan and put on the website? Still needed: nos 28, 29, 31.
