SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS

(a) Newsletter

Twice each year the Society publishes a newsletter, circulated free to members containing reports of meetings, County Representatives' reports, and contributions from members along with illustrations.
Material should be submitted to newsletter@milestonesociety.co.uk.

Back issues of newsletters are available here.

(b) "Milestones and Waymarkers, incorporating On The Ground"

Our new A4 publication in autumn 2011 covers both well-researched specialist articles and practical examples of conservation and restoration work by members, to inspire others!
Plenty of illustrations, too. The Editor is John Nicholls (jv@milestonesociety.co.uk)  in collaboration with David Viner.

(c) The Milestone Society Group on Facebook

All are welcome to join our Group on Facebook, 'Milestone Society'. It's an opportunity for sharing information on restoration practices and new discoveries as they happen.

(d)  YouTube

We are developing a series of videos on Youtube, both amusing and serious, to help raise public awareness of milestones.

See the story of a rabbit reading and researching Thomas Hardy's poem: 'The Milestone by the Rabbit Burrow'
