Early LDWA Newsletters and Striders

This page contains the first 20 issues of the LDWA Newsletter (renamed Strider for issue 19 onwards) and some special issues. It is unlikely that more will be added in the near future as the size of the files is becoming unmanageable (34 MBytes for issue 20) as the documents have more pages and photographs. The size is because the originals were scanned and incorporated into the PDF files as images rather than text; really further issues ought to be converted to text to greatly reduce file size which takes a lot more work. If anyone wants to do this we will gladly host the results on this web-site.

The documents can be viewed with a PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. Apologies for the poor quality of some pages in the early issues but that is due to the quality of the original paper documents.
