Telltales 1980-2016
Telltales published from 1980-2016 can be found in pdf format, in NSC’s Box.com folders. In 2014, the Telltale became a weekly email bulletin published by the office, under the responsibility of the Public Relations Director.
History
The Telltale has been in production since 1980 when it was simply called the “Newsletter”. In 1982 the publication was renamed to “Tell-Tale” before being simplified to “Telltale” as we know it today.
Over the years the Telltale has taken a few different shapes and forms. It started off as a simple paper newsletter stapled together and passed around. Then, the Telltale was a 15-30 page monthly newsletter until the end of 2013, edited for the last couple of decades by our late member, Yvonne Parlour. Now, it is sent as a weekly email bulletin.
