Prior to online options for events, results & news the Club published and distributed a paper newsletter, Orienteering in Newcastle. This was produced for many years (36!) by Allan Wright, and in the later stages by Daniel Orr.
There was an overlap for some years with both online information and a printable newsletter option with the final issue of Orienteering in Newcastle being number 224 in June 2013 (to be confirmed).
A sample of the latter editions are linked below.
