The UKSRC was formed in 1998 as an informal group of slide rule enthusiasts without any constitution or officers (The position of "Editor" is unofficial and used for practical purposes). The Circle is involved in collecting, researching and recording the history of the slide rule. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the subject whether in a professional capacity or as an amateur.
Our aim is to hold meetings in the United Kingdom at least two times per year and other contacts are maintained through the columns of the newsletter. We have been encouraged by the gradual increase in our membership and continue to be surprised at the number of people who appear from "nowhere" and who have been collecting slide rules on their own, often for many years! The meetings are held in the homes of members and we try to vary the location to even out the travelling involved.
This page will shortly be withdrawn as the UKSRC has its own web site at www.sliderules.org.uk
