Volu.-n,.c 2 n0. I. '!'his is the se cone year of DroC:uction for the YUFOS ,Journal, and nov.r it looks set to continue for :r.anv years to cone. Unforteunately,along with �ost other thinqs toda? the price has had to be increased to accomodatc rising �rices in rarer 1 tnk and stencils. :·1hat will happen however is an incre�se in the n�bcr of �ages and inclusion of drawings anc photor;raphs �.t!hcrc ]")OSSiblc. Aqain I �:1oul6 like to thank those of vou '1':-Jho sub::.1.l ttcc. material a.nd 'ti'Jelcomc .:lnyonc to contribute to furthe r Journals. (Hy address is at the top).
la you \AJill be a.Narc 1 the talk at Int0.kc School in Leeds \'·rent dO\ATn very v.rcll as did the Investigators Seminar of vJhich I �,.rill conunent in this issue. I must say, Ian1 v lookj�ng for'l'lrard 0 to the trip to Aylesbury and I think it will be n. q0od day out for all who go.It will give us all an opportunity to meet and speak to other members,cspccially those at Data Research, the nerve centre of Contact. Ufo sightings continue to dribble in,but they will all help to build up a picture eventually .Any �cn:.bcr �Jho can find any old cases are asked to send then on as all arc useful! to so�c degrcc.Thcsc will then be sent down to Oxford. I hope you like the new cover rlcsi�n enC. enjoy reading the contents therein.
