In the late a1970’s, as a member of British Mensa, Al belonged to several SIGs (special interest groups) whose monthly publications frequently published his writings.
- ConSig, a group for those keen on issues of conservation, was run by Dr Paul Hammet LeBrun, who lived in Wednesbury, hailed from Malta and printed many articles and poems from Al.
- The Mensa Poetry society, over a few years, published a dozen or so poems for Al in their organ, Lyriq.
- Al took over the running of the SIG devoted to science fiction, the newsletter/zine of which he renamed Syzygy, and he was editor of that publication for three or four years during the mid 1980’s.
Yours
Yours magazine published a short true story by Al in the late 1990’s in their Yours Annual publication.
