EDITOR’S NOTES:<br />
Among the artefacts the group has received over the last year were two large collections<br />
<strong>of</strong> Western Welsh Staff Bulletins. This together with my own collection makes almost a<br />
complete set <strong>of</strong> 258 issues from July 1947 to Dec. 1972 when publication ceased. We<br />
still need a February 1962 issue (No.175) to make a complete set. We have several<br />
other spare copies we can swap for this particular issue should a copy become available.<br />
Thanks also to Dillwyn Lewis <strong>of</strong> Pencoed for his donation <strong>of</strong> bound Historic Commercial<br />
News and to the unnamed former bus employees who have left uniforms and artefacts at<br />
the depot.<br />
