MCG Publications
The MCG produces two regular publications, the Newsletter and the Journal.
The Newsletter is normally published monthly and is distributed by post to all members. It provides current news on club activities, members, and the caving world, and the latest on forthcoming events.
The Journal is published according to need, and provides longer-term information such as expedition reports, cave surveys, historical surveys, and scientific study reports.
Now of course we could say that we have a third regular publication; this web site!
The early Newsletters are being scanned into .pdf format, and as an experiment, some are available here. If you have Acrobat Reader on your computer, you can see them by selecting from the following links:
1982: 151 (3.7MB) 152 (2.8MB) 153 154 155 (1.2MB) 156 157 158 159
1983: 160 (1.3MB) 161 162 163
Please note that these files are quite large, so if you don't have a broadband internet connection, they will take a very, very long time to open.
Back issues of all publications are available for members to read in the library. The following are also available for purchase via the Recorder:
