The Engineering Board activities at RAL published regular newsletters throughout the life of the programme. The Engineering Computing Newsletter was first issued in January 1987 and continued until March 1996 (60 issues over the life of Informatics Department and beyond). We have managed to find copies of all the Newsletters apart from issues 53 and 54. If anybody has those still, it would be of interest to us.
To avoid repetition, some of the information at the back of each Newsletter has not been repeated in each issue when there has not been any change from the previous issue. Also, many articles gave a contact name, address and phone number, which do not have much relevance now.
Space was always at a premium in the Newsletter as the aim was to keep it to 8 or 12 pages. Where additional relevant photographs exist, we have added them at the aprropriate positions.
Most Newsletters were sent out with a set of flyers which mainly gave more detail of specific events. Where these are part of the Engineering Board programme, we have added the flyers that went out with each edition.
