EDITORIAL OFFICE: RAOC SECRETARIAT, DEEPCUT, CAMBERLEY., SURREY, (Telephone; Brookwood 4511, Ext. 535.) INDEX TO Volume 60, Jio. 4 1906 = 1978 OTHER A PINT POT MORE Units are sending in contributions in the form of news- letters than ever before, an excellent sign and one which should be good for circulation though paradoxically it is a development which could, over a period of time, have the opposite effect. Because of the number, and in particular the length of some newsletters, I am having difficulty in maintaining the balance of interest matter in THE GAZETTE and have a backlog of a number of good articles in danger of beoming out dated as they await publication. Editors are always in a difficult position and particularly so when constricted by space. Units naturally dislike their newsletters to be drastically edited down and contributors, though generally very good, are not always so patient in awaiting publication of their articles. At forty pages we are just about the largest monthly journal; achieved by very careful budgeting, by the use of lightweight paper with carefully selected type and by cropping the four and a half thousand copies we distribute to exactly match the economic postage weight—often alas, having to sacrifice presenta- tion for the maximum use of available space, We cannot afford a larger magazine so I would ask our correspondents while keeping up the good work to be interesting but to be reasonably brief and to bear with me when editing for space has to take place; my apologies to those who await publication of their articles. My main concern is that contributors are not discouraged— at the moment judging by your comments I know that you are not, but it would help to get the quart into the pint pot if the slogan became—be interesting—be brief. While on the subject of contributions I often have suggested cover photographs sent in but taken landscape ie horizontally, these of course are usually non starters since they cannot normally fit the available space. Photographs for the cover must be taken portrait ie vertically and have sky or other blank areas at the top, or at the bottom, to take the titling. Have a look at some back copies—August was the perfect example. Good cover photographs are very hard to find, PAGES For the Record ".

The gray and stoTmy scene, which is fairly typical of Summer 1978, comes over well as Brigadier Richard Cooke and crew appear to just about take the lead at Netley. |
