ELMS Newsletters

Society Newsletters

ELMS Newsletters are produced and distributed to members quarterly. They detail the calendar of events, articles, personal stories, reports from events and trails, research, photographs, anecdotes, requests for information, book reviews, ‘Lost Trails’, etc. Members are encouraged to submit their own articles for publication.
