Newsletters

C&H produced a newsletter, three times a year, of articles and news from around the county, all in a format that you can download and print. 

The county newsletter was first produced in 1990 by Bill Penfold, with help from Tony Oram and Vic Wood, and contributions from Alan Grist, Ron Dench, John Turner and Paul Barden. It was produced annually until April 1993, when Chris Jagger and John Turner took over as editors, when it appeared regularly three times a year.  Jonathan Mestel replaced John Turner as co-editor from issue 15 in December 1996. Catherine Jagger replaced Jonathan as co-editor in December 2005.
