It is published twice a year in Spring and Autumn and is distributed free to members. For more information see page 39, or contact the Editor: Peter Turner 10 North Hill, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12 1HH 01394 388809 or 07903 251008 Email: ka.editor@1805club.org 3 EDITORIAL I will always acknowledge, this magazine would never be possible without the unsel�ish contribution of such excellent copy from members. The editor’s job is primarily one of worrying about what contributions will be received and then worrying about how they are all going to be squeezed in. When the editor has the luxury of too much stuff to use, he has the concomitant concern about whom he must disappoint with a refusal. And today’s refusee could just be tomorrow’s star contributor, who must not be discouraged. We have recently started to issue a bi-monthly digital newsletter, calledThe 1805 Dispatches (TD). Unlike theKA, which is exclusive to Club members, TD is freely available to anyone visiting our website, and it is prepared with a lighter touch. In this way we hope it may help us to attract new members, especially new younger members – the next generation, who will be required to carry the good work of the club forward. In this edition you will �ind articles about many subjects, which I hope you consider interesting and relevant. After mentioning HMSBeaglein the previous edition, without mentioning FitzRoy, her captain, we are correcting the balance in this edition, with an exceptionally long article, which was deemed timely and too good to miss, but we generally prefer to have contributions that are only up to about half its size, as we do not wish to poach potential material from future editions of theTrafalgar Chronicle. The sharp-eyed reader will notice a change of font from Times New Roman to Cambria, which is softer (no sharp corners) and so, it is felt by me, to be easier to read. Do comment. As usual, blame me for all the mistakes. Please note the next edition is due in Spring 2021. The deadline for copy will be 21 March 2021. Please submit your ideas to the editor as soon as you can,and actual contributions at an earlier date if possible. Never forget that there is a whole treasure trove of interesting stuff on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/The1805Club/ M������� H������ �� A�������� March2021 If you missed The 1805 Club’s highly successful visit to Spain in 2018, here’s an opportunity to catch up.
