Thanks for the link Tarboat. I've downloaded it.  I wonder what other publications of local interest might be available for download ?

There have been quite a few interesting links posted on the site over the years. I wonder if it would be a good idea to group them together on a seperate page or a 'sticky' thread.

Indeed. A couple of people thought a sticky would be useful, only I thought about the website.

So best forgotten.
