Wealden News - the newsletter of Wealden geologyWhen Wealden News issue No.7 was published in September 2007 Kent RIGS agreed to carry a downloadable PDF version on its 'News' page to extend readership. Issue No.6 was subsequently reworked, to reduce the memory required, and also converted to a PDF version. This proved such a popular addition to the website that Kent RIGS has decided to accept a proposal that all seven issues of Wealden News now be made available through its website. This dedicated page, linked from the front page, makes issues of Wealden News more readily available. Wealden News issues:
