Newsletter
Our quarterly Newsletter 'Ophthalmic Antiques' reaches its 86th issue in January 2004. It is inclusive of the subscription and posted to all members in January, April, July and October

The Club Newsletter was started in September 1982 as 'The Bulletin' by our late Founder Derek Davidson and consisted of six pages covering a variety of topics of interest. Derek continued as Editor with quarterly issues and increased the pages to eight and 'The Bulletin' became 'The Newsletter' with issue 11 in April 1985. Ronald MacGregor took over as Editor for the July 1990 issue and gradually increased the content until it reached the current 16 pages in 1997. Two volumes of 'Extracts' have been published, the first in 1986 covering the first ten issues and the second in 1996 covering the preceeding ten years. With the April 2006 issue colour pictures were introduced for the front and back covers. An enlarged edition for July 2007 will celebrate the Newsletter's 100th Issue.

In January 1998 Valerie Mellor compiled an Index of every article from Issues 1 to 62, this enabled easy reference to the treasury of information contained in the Newsletters. They are now recognised as an authoritative source of ophthalmic and optical history and are often quoted in learned papers and articles.
Valerie subsequently produced a new replacement Index to bring the resource up to issue 85. This new Index was issued free to members with the October 2004 Newsletter. Members should retain this Index carefully as subsequent updates will be added every two years to avoid the need for a further major replacement in the future. The first update covering issues 86 to 93, Jan.2004 to Oct.2005, was issued free to members with the January 2006 Newsletter and the second, covering issues 94 to 101, Jan. 2006 to Oct. 2007, was issued with the January 2008 Newsletter.
Photocopies of individual articles or complete issues can be obtained from Membership Secretary, Valerie Mellor, at a cost of £1.50 for the first page plus 0.50p per page or £3 per complete issue.
