In an effort to avoid any erroneous "Grapevine" comments causing concern to
QUANTA Members (and others) I am making the following statement on behalf of
the current QUANTA Committee:-
"Due to not receiving any response to communications sent to our new
Magazine Editor - Tony Hill - over a now considerable period, this committee
have asked John Gilpin - QUANTA Treasurer and Membership Secretary - to
stand in again as Joint Magazine editor until (at least) the AGM in April
2009. The other Joint Editor's position will remain with John Mason.
In order to notify you all of details for the forthcoming Celebration
Workshop and AGM in April 2009, John G has agreed to publish Quanta
Magazines for August/September/October 2008, (a three month's issue), and
November/December 2008/January 2009 (another three month's issue). This will
bring us up to the end of Volume 25. He has also agreed to publish a
Magazine for February/March 2009 which will be our "Celebration Issue" -
QUANTA will be 25 years old in February 2009."
End of Statement.
Having resigned the position of Joint Editor in April 2008, I was able to
take on other personal commitments which have been on the back burner for
some considerable time. I was asked by Tony Hill to help out with the
April/May 2008 issue due to his sickness and I found it very demanding with
my new found commitments. When no response was received from Tony regarding
the June/July 2008 issue, I once again squeezed another issue into my
overcrowded schedule albeit published nearly two months late!! The situation
seems to be ongoing and if QUANTA Members are to receive their Magazines on
time and of a reasonable quality, a new Magazine Editor MUST BE FOUND by
April 2009 as I cannot guarantee my time to continue to do this job after
that date. Nominations should be sent to:- Sarah Gilpin - QUANTA Secretary
as soon as possible please. All possible advice and support will be given to
any new applicant.
In the meantime, please bear with me while I try to get the information
together for the next issue which I hope will be published by the end of
this month (November 2008). Any material for inclusion into that issue (or
any future issue) should be sent to me, John Gilpin - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or by post to the address inside the front cover of previous issues of
QUANTA Magazine.
Thank you all for your perseverance and co-operation.
Kind regards,
John Gilpin - QUANTA Joint Editor (still!!)
On behalf of both myself and the QUANTA Committee.
