Well, since returning from Memphis on the 9th I've been sitting in front of my PC putting together the latest magazine, which finally went off to the printers today. It actually turned out to be 68 pages in the end.
Being a man, I've never found multi-tasking easy and so I've not had time to do much else over the last few days. Because the magazine needed to be designed as quick as possible to meet the deadline, my correspondence with many of you has been a little slow.
My apologies for being elusive recently. I have a habit of almost hibernating when I've an important job to do. Anyway, I'm now done, and looking forward to the next week or so with the stress of being a magazine editor over for a while.
Back to the mag...
The next edition will contain some BIG surprises in terms of content and appearance. I've great pleasure in announcing that it'll be in full colour, with a fresh new design. In my opinion, the new look equals anything that you may find on the high street. I'm sure you'll enjoy what myself and the team have been working on.
There is also a ton of great articles, features, reviews and interviews for you to enjoy. Plus the usual news, reviews etc. Here's what to expect with our next edition...
