NEWSLETTER - 7 SEPTEMBER 2020



Our project is now drawing to its close and I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and participation in something which I know we have all enjoyed and will look back on as a very worthwhile endeavour.  We may find it is possible to continue in the future when meetings are possible once more, but we will first need to find a useful format that everyone will be interested in following.  More of that in the future though.

For now, it was really good to see everyone again for the photoshoot and we were very pleased to be able to obtain 22 photographs of the 18 that turned up, and 4 others that we obtained by other means, to include in the book.

The book is now at the printers, though the relevant person is on holiday this week so I think we will have to await his return before we reach the next stage.  However, I am hopeful it will be ready to launch before the end of the month.  Fingers crossed anyway.

Just as a taster, the cover looks like this:

so I hope you like it and will enjoy reading what has been created from all the interviews and topics we discussed.  There are lots of photos too, so you might recognise a few people in them.

I think you can take it that the book will sell for £10 to all participants, though we will probably have to charge full price to others if we are to reclaim all that has been spent to produce it.  

I will write again when we have arranged a launch place, date and time.

So, until then, take care.
