The Spring edition of the BCD quarterly newsletter was very efficiently produced to go out just in advance of our 2015 weekend House Party near Peterborough. As well as the standard meeting reports, forthcoming programme, Sales & Wants etc., there was also a wonderfully diverse selection of material contributed from the readership, including one on Peacock-branded Postcard Puzzles, another entitled “A window on our Domestic History” and a fascinating piece on “Airships in Nisterland”.
Chairman David Shearer’s previous article, published in issue number 114 and describing his “Perfect Puzzle & Why”, had certainly prompted some follow up material for this latest issue, as indeed did Julia Nenova’s piece on the comparison between wood and cardboard puzzles, so fingers crossed that these debates continue to stimulate further material for forthcoming publications too!
With over 50 guests appearing at The Orton Hall Hotel next week, along with a great line-up of displays and speakers, there is sure to be plenty more to report over the coming few editions. This will also be an opportunity for the BCD to celebrate its 30th Anniversary, with a “Show & Tell” theme to encourage members to bring along up to two puzzles which have relevance to this milestone on the club’s history.
