The Skeptical Adversaria

The Adversaria is ASKE's quarterly newsletter that never seems to appear quarterly. In fact the Loch Ness monster has been seen more often. When it is published it attempts to keep members updated about what's happening in the UK. The Newsletter is deliberately informal in tone and gives all our members a chance to air their views.

As ever persuading people to put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard is no easy task. So if you have a story, a point of view, a pen or whatever then please sent it in. You can even do it by email!

The Adversaria is still developing and hopefully some members can find it in their cold, black cynical, skeptical hearts to write something.

Just to satisfy your curiosity the word 'adversaria' is Latin and literally means, 'that which has been turned to' and, according to Nil Desperandum: A Dictionary of Latin Tags and Phrases by Eugene Ehrlich, "is a plural noun referring to notes or brief written comments." Obviously the idea of using an unknown Latin word was to create an impression of quality and learning. This way if you don't understand anything then hopefully you will assume it's your fault not ours.
