• The High Wycombe Society Newsletter is published four times a year and is usually 12 pp long.  It is issued free to members.  Six months after each newsletter is issued, it is posted in full in the archive on this website.

• Our print deadline is on the 20th of February, May, August and November, and the Newsletter is distributed by our volunteer postmen the following month.

• The Newsletter covers the work of all the Society's groups, the quarterly meetings and other events. The front page comments on a matter of local interest and there is usually also a letters page.

• We are always looking for contributions to the Newsletter. We need articles, for example from people who remember Wycombe in its earlier days, or with a novel angle on local matters. We need letters with outspoken comment, which we welcome from anybody. And we particularly like to receive drawings and cartoons.

Please send all contributions to our Newsletter Editor, Chris Woodman, at 29 Maybrook Gardens, High Wycombe, HP13 6PJ, telephone (01494) 528106, or e-mail your material direct.
