News Magazine 35 - Summer 2009

Editors Corner

Welcome to the Summer Issue of your local magazine, Issue 35. I can not believe it! I have just been checking on the MACLA Website (www.macla.co.uk) as to when I first took over as Editor and it was way back in Issue 16 (Winter 2004) - 20 issues ago. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun!!!

Taking the average issue is or should I say, WAS, around 10,000 words, that means that I have tapped out, on my computer keyboard, somewhere around 200,000 words. No wonder my fingers are worn out and crippled with Arthritis!!

Anyway, although I was trying to reduce the number of pages to 60 (to reduce the printing costs) this issue is again a Bumper Issue with 64 pages. Hopefully you will find it full of interesting, newsworthy articles, which meets the needs of most, if not all of you.

As we move into the Summer there are numerous events taking place locally and hopefully once they have been brought to your attention via the "Little Green Book" it will inspire more and more of you to support these functions.

If anyone feels they would like to see something different or new in the magazine please let me know - either by e-mail: fordy.meg@gmail.com or by phone - 01526 320016
