50th Anniversary Journal
In celebration of our Golden Jubilee, our hard working Journal Editor, Peter Chapman has prepared a special 50th Anniversary edition of the '14-'18 Journal.
The journal is a composite of articles which have appeared in every edition we have published since 1964 up until 2012. No that is not a typo, this edition contains an upcoming article from our 2012 edition. At nearly 200 pages this is the largest '14-'18 Journal we have ever published.
This edition will be free to all of our members as an electronic version only, and will be available to download from the website after February 20th. Hard copy editions will be made available to members after that date for $20 plus postage.
Members attending the 50th Anniversary Lunch at Victoria Barracks on February 18th will receive a commemorative version of the 50th Edition Anniversary Journal on CD free of charge. They will also get the opportunity to buy a hard copy edition for $15. Seats are still available, payment for the dinner can be made via the online shop or by contacting the Treasurer. Tickets sales close on January 31st.
