The Magazines

Four issues of the FOCS magazine are published each year, in February, May, August and November. Each issue consists of: the actual magazine (Onwards and Upwards) which is normally 76 pages, illustrated in full colour; Ripping Reads (about other books) which is normally 16 pages, illustrated in full colour; Sales & Wants which is normally 16 pages and is black on white. Any member may contribute to the magazines, and we include comments and articles on a wide variety of subjects, linked to the Chalet School and Elinor Brent-Dyer’s Other Books.
