Group Newsletter
The Group’s newsletter is published regularly to keep members informed on various matters within the Group and details of forthcoming events, and members are encouraged to contribute to the publication by way of articles, letters to the Editor, opinions, or advice and queries on technical subjects. Non-Commercial advertisements are accepted from members for the ‘For Sale’ and ‘Wanted’ sections free of charge, a nominal fee being made in respect of any form of commercial insertions. Items for inclusion in the publication should be forwarded in writing only to the Editor preferably by e-mail. Currently, we are still hunting for an Editor, so in the interim, items for inclusion in the newsletter can be emailed to info@fspg.online
Group Library
There is a growing library of books and manuals to which reference can be made. Material is not normally loaned out, but copies can often be provided at a small charge. Further literature is always sought; a guide to the present holding can be found in the Member’s Handbook. To request access to the library, please email the Executive committee at secretary@fspg.online
