A5 for me.  I couldn't bear having years of A5 Journals and then A4 appearing.......the shelf would look odd! 

That was the 'reasoning' given by the chairman now president of our Musical Theatre society... It is now A4 as I do the layout and design and was frustrated by the constraints of A5... She has started a new shelf apparently

I'm damned sure my postie would fold an A4 version

I have 2 monthly A4 sized railway magazines delivered by Royal Mail and the postie so far hasn't managed to ruin either.

But my postie folds all my post in half other than birthday/Christmas cards and the A5 Journal. Swap?

Are you wanting in the size of your slot..?
All my A4 mags come through unfolded but the slot is wider than A4... maybe older ones are smaller?

Well done, Neale! Grahame may have been unafraid to stir up a bit of controversy, but there is no doubt he has improved the journal in many ways and I think you have a good platform to build on. You won't be able to please all of the people all of the time but I am sure you will do a great job. I've got one or two ideas for articles but my workrate is so slow at the moment it's anyone's guess when you might get them!

A4/A5? I really don't care, although A5 is easier to read in the bath... (does that count as a valid reason?) The content is the important thing in my view, not the format.

Very best of luck, Neale. I'm sure you will get a lot of support from the Forumistas!

Cheers,

Chris

Aha, another bath reader. Though I also read A4-sized magazines in the bath too, so it's not a deal breaker.

A5 for me, I find it a handy size. My O gauge Gazette is A4 and sometimes gets damaged in the post.   

I've been meaning to try my hand at another article since my Suitcase layout one got published. Just done a big move to Spain, so still organising a bit here but once my modelling tools are unpacked I'll see if I can come up with something.

I used to read in the bath but I now need glasses to read and they get all steamed up.
Or does someone know a neat trick to stop glasses steaming up?
As for A4/5, it matters not to me.

A drop of washing up liquid wiped on and then off the lenses, (also works on bathroom mirrors!). 

As for reading in the bath, that is what baths were invented for isn't it!

I shall try that later 

The size of the magazine was the catalyst I think it fair to say for Grahame knocking it on the head. He wanted A4.
    Personally I am with the A5 brigade.

A rather personal question but the answer is 'No'. Strangely junk mail from Virgin arrives unbent so I can only conclude my postie has a beneficial (to him) arrangement with Beardy Man

Martin, what have you been reading in the bath to make your glasses steam up?

Ha Ha !!!
You'd be surprised.

Congratulations NeMo, a big job to take on.  I'd better tidy up and sort out some of my forum tutorials if they're of any use.

I must admit that when I was editor of the newsletter I mentioned earlier, the hardest task was getting folk to write stuff for publication. Like Grahame Hedges, I would often end up providing a lot of the material myself.
