The ALLFELLAS Gay Social Group newsletter published in the summer of 1994 (ten years before facebook was launched).
The scan and photos do not do justice to the amount of work and creativity that went into producing this news letter, the content was typed and many of the illustrations drawn by hand. The newsletter was published on A3 paper and tri folded to make a tall narrow booklet as shown in this photo.
