Club Links & History

Here is something you missed if you never attended any of my classes way back in the good old days:

It is a book I wrote for apprentices and journeymen who wanted to upgrade their skills in "Developments & Layout Work".

Note of caution regarding preservation of photographs.
A number of links on this site lead to current or future external/outside pages, such as "Google Photos", and, perhaps to others not yet known. We have no control over this and it is, therefore, quite possible that they will not always be available. At some time, the external sites may delete their content or change the access-protocol alltogether. As far as this web page is concerned, in such a case related photos will be gone and, maybe forever. I am trying to preserve the pictures of our meetings and other events as a history and if the outside web pages no longer exist, any history will then also be gone. Therefore, if it is absolutely vital for you to keep such photographs for yourself and forever, make sure you keep them in a location where they remain and where they are safe.
Hans Siebert.
