Bulletin

Sunday

23rd September 1967

 

 Issue No. 1

 

Albert's Anniversary

To-day is a milestone for my Weekly Bulletin.       I started publication exactly 40 years ago to-day with the first brief issue dated 23 September 1967 - see copy re-typed below.
 

The Bulletin was produced initially every week except for the Aberdeen Trades fortnight, i.e. 50 issues annually as our weekly sweepstake continued for the same period.  Nowadays we cease publication during the close season and also stop our weekly lottery, which replaced the sweepstake, for the same period.

I became Secretary and Treasurer of Culter Football Club on 27 March 1961 in succession to the late Graham W Brebner. Prior to starting the Bulletin the Sweepstake Winning Numbers and Winners were detailed by means of a solitary sheet in our Notice Board at the top of the Mill Brae.  I still have the typewriter I used at the outset, an Imperial 58, plus the duplicator on which I used to print off over 200 copies.   At present the circulation is now just over 100 copies plus some by e-mail.

See selection of Press cuttings overleaf regarding the Bulletin.
