The Bulletin

The Bulletin (AKA The British Fantasy Society Newsletter) is the clubzine of the British Weird Fantasy Society (later British Fantasy Society), founded in May 1971 with Keith Walker as editor, though David Sutton took over as editor for issue #2 and and continued as editor for the next 34 issues. In October 1982 it was renamed The British Fantasy Newsletter.

Just as there are two unrelated incarnations of the British Fantasy Society – this one from 1971 and an earlier on in the 1940s – this Bulletin is unrelated to the earlier British Fantasy Society Bulletin?
