'EDGE'

'EDGE' is published ten times a year. It is edited by (more or less) volunteer members of the General Committee and put into a suitable 'artwork' form by one of two computer-literate members. The size normally varies between 8 and 16 pages, although our 25th Anniversary issue in June 1998 had 32 pages. Excerpts from recent issues are to be found throughout this website.
