BORDER HEARTBEAT
We publish 2 issues of our newsletter, Border Heartbeat, each year. It's very difficult to keep a newsletter vibrant and alive without input from you, the members and we thank you for your support. The editors would be happy to receive any news, articles etc, so please put pen to paper and let them have your contributions! Details for submissions can be found in the current issue or alternatively you can email the Heartbeat Editors.
