Margaret Scott has donated a copy of the Fylde Mountaineering Club Journal 1956 – 1958 that had belonged to her father Jack Jowett to the club to be preserved in the Archives. It is an interesting read. I tried scanning it but it was not all that good so I have photographed each of the 45 pages.
The full Journal can be viewed in the photo gallery by clicking on the above cover image.
