Magazine April 2020

The April Magazine

Here’s the first stab at our new online magazine.  It contains just the same material as in the paper copy, though it is presented in a different way.  I hope this is more attractive than a simple .pdf copy of the printed version, but if you prefer that, just click the top link and ignore the rest.
Do let us know what you think.

Deadlines
In the current situation, a Sunday publication day is less significant.
We’ll try to get the magazine online by the 1st of the month, rather than the First Sunday.

Thus the deadline for the May edition is Thursday 23rd April
Please let us have your material at least by then (earlier will be better!)
– and we’ll try to have the magazine ready for Friday, 1st May.
