- You will need the 'members only' password to download or view these files.
- To view or print the documents in this area you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Alternately you can just click the link and you will see it, but you may not be able to save it this way.
- In many cases the newsletters are available in two resolutions.
The higher resolution one should look quite close in quality to the
hardcopy documents which come from the printer. The more recent
issues also contain color. For users who have a slower modem a low
resolution version is often provided. In general the text quality
will be identical to the larger version. The pictures however will be
degraded and in most cases not recognizable.
- Some material is not included in the on-line versions.
- the membership list is removed to protect the privacy of club members.
- Some material, typically advertisements, comes to us in hardcopy form rather
than electronic. These may not be included in the online
versions for technical reasons.
