Looking forward to it Ashley.  Thanks to all involved.

56 pages!  I'm impressed, for a small society that really is a great achievement.  Do you hope to keep that up in the future or this a special for the anniversary?

Mike

it's partly due to anniversary year, although such articles have been limited in numbers.
there is a cost for the printing of extra pages, from 48 in incriments of 4 pages, so it's either 52 or then 56 pages, but they do imply extra costs, but that's up to the commitee to approve .
of course the goodwill of traders (such as yourself) helps balance the books.
we have a new trader advert in this forthcoming edition and i hope they will get new custom and repeat their advert too.
any larger than 56 pages and the weight goes into the next level of postage which is a very large increase per year .
lets just hope the material is their for keeping a larger number of pages. it's a difficult one, with 48 as a default, you have scope for special events/a.g.m's etc, where as if we get used to 56 and then some extra or time specific items have to go it, there may be nnoe room left, or a great shame to have to then remove a planned article to make way.

it'll actually be 52 pages this time, but autumn and winter should have 56 pages. it's getting printed today as i type, so lockdown post permitting, won't be too long till you have your copy. ash
