Our latest quarterly printed newspaper FN161 is now out. This is a two-sided A4 sheet in miserable black and white. You can collect a copy from outside Fitzrovia Centre, 2 Foley Street or view it online along with our archive of papers going back to 1973 here.
We plan to produce a full-size printed newspaper (FN162) in mid-June. This will be a full colour paper with mostly features including some which have appeared online since last June.
As always, thanks to all our contributors. If you have an idea for an article, please get in touch. Have a good summer.
