Lasernews History Collection Now Online
Rob Lowndes has put together a collection of Laser newsletters “Lasernews” starting with the first in September 1974 through to the last in 2007. This gives a superb account of the history of the class in Australia and especially in the NSW/ACT District.
As a Laser 50th anniversary project Rob has had the Lasernews scanned and now posted on on this web site Here. There is some background Here.
Rob has included a handy headline guide for each edition so you can browse though Laser history by subject as well as timeline. In compiling this collection and the guide I suspect that Rob has spent many hours combing the newsletters so, if he wasn’t before, he is by now the foremost source of factual Laser legend in the land.
Thanks to Rob for his work on this project and even greater applause for the authors and editors who compiled the newsletters over the years. Also thanks to Paul and Yoko Hargan who managed to collect and collate these pieces of history.
