Progress with 2009 Journal

The 2009 Journal is now being printed and is on schedule to be ready for distribution from 25th January. I take this opportunity to thank everyone whose contribution has made this possible. The 2009 Journal will be 768 pages – the same as last year.

Apart from the usual Association, Overseas, Show and Sales reports there is an exciting range of articles covering all aspects of achievement within the Society and by the membership; despite the ‘credit crunch’ the Journal has been again supported with excellent advertising from the members which is so necessary if we are to maintain the standard we have come to expect with the Journal.

I also wish to congratulate the photographers for the superb standard of photographs forwarded to me for selection and also used in member’s individual advertisements. Many will be familiar with the ‘in house’ team of Carol Jones, Mike Daley and Dr Wynne Davies whose presence at sales, seminars and meetings ensures Society events are recorded; this year Milli Peel has been a welcome addition to the team. To them all my sincere thanks; their work provides the Journal with a wonderful opportunity to provide a pictorial record not only now but for the years to come.

The process of returning photographs sent with a SAE will start now but will take a few weeks; however if photographs are not received by mid January, please get in touch.

The Journal is a Society publication for the membership and I am always keen to hear from the membership on suggestions for improvement of the publication - be assured any comments will not be taken as criticism but as a starting point for discussion. Most will agree the Journal is not broken but ‘a review’ is an important tool in progress and should always be on the agenda to take place. I look forward to receiving ideas and suggestions for the future.

Finally, my apologies in advance for any errors that may have occurred in compiling the Journal; please communicate any to me and a correction will be posted on the WPCS website as notified.
