The Nelson Dispatch

The Nelson Dispatch is the quarterly journal of The Nelson Society and is distributed free to members. The production of this journal is the responsibility of the editor and is the principal vehicle of communication between members.

Reports on all aspects of Society activities and forthcoming events are included. Articles from many sources are published and there is always new material surfacing from a worldwide membership.

As part of membership, members not only get to see the latest version, but they have access to the archived publications too.
