LPWS & affiliates' Magazines

Before the Internet, our magazines were printed and posted out, here are a selection from the past

Back in the dim distant past, more than 20 years ago, we had to use an old spirit duplicator to publish The Penrose Gazette, the magazine of the Laughing Policeman Wireless Society. We later got our hands on an old off-set printer, and then in 1990, the dawning of Desk Top Publishing and a turning point!

Breakaway!

Sadly, the emergence of Desktop Publishing coincided with splits within the LPWS and several break-away groups started their own magazines. The original Penrose Gazette was in competition with the likes of The Buffoon, The Thin Blue Line, Squeak International, and probably the most widely circulated NOT! The Penrose Gazette. The latter being published by Not! The Laughing Policeman Wireless Society.

All Friends Now

We are please to say that old differences are now forgotten and we are all back together and pulling in the same direction with only minor casualties along the way.
