Action Forum magazine number 1, March 1969. Click to view (2Mb file)
This is the first ever Action Forum from 1969 and the first time that it has ever been made available online!
This was the launch edition so only consisted of 4 pages and was slightly larger than the current A5 format, possibly the legal paper size.
Fascinating to think of the context of the date of this first edition - it was prior to the Moon landings and before decimalisation in 1971.

This is the second Action Forum from 1969 and the first time that it has ever been made available online!
This was the second edition and now consisted of 6 pages and was slightly larger than the current A5 format.
The cover featured an article about the Rainham and Wigmore Community Association (RWCA) with 5 statements of their purpose. Somethings never change as the first item was to ensure than schools were being provided for the growing population, a common theme in 2021 and will feature in an upcoming Action Forum too.
