Notes for Authors (pdf)

Historical Circulars

Following an appeal at the VSS Meeting at Pendrell Hall in 2010, Heather and Derek Harris came forward and offered their help in scanning old Circulars into a searchable format. They have now completed the more modern Circulars from 12-20 and these are now available below.  However, please be advised that in order to do this it proved necessary to first scan these Circulars into Word format before converting into the PDF one. This necessitated some re-pagination and careful proof reading and so if you need to use some of the historical data from these Circulars it may be as well to obtain it from the original (just to be sure, although we have done our best to insure the new document is correct).
