Archive of FEDAGA Newsletters
Until 2012 FEDAGA published a print edition twice a year. This proved expensive to print and post out. Since 2013 members have been able to subscribe for a more regular (and colourful!) digital edition which magically appears in their inbox. Click here to find out how to subscribe.
