Previous Issues

Volume 1, Issue 1, published in November 1996 was a trial, called 'Recollections' and asked for suggestions for possible inclusions. It was obviously well-received, as Volume 2, Issue 1 appeared in March 1997, under the title 'Newsletter'.
Volume 3, Issue 2 in July 1998 appeared with a new name, 'The Long Game'.
The first Editor was John Lindsay, who handed over to Roy Patterson in December 2002. Roy continued as Editor until Issue No 21 in September 2005. The numbering system changed after Volume 4, Issue 1 in February 1999, to sequential numbering.
