THE EDITOR welcomes new contributors, it is your Journal so why not contribute to it? Articles on any subject will be welcomed: sport, adventure, work, experience, humour, fiction—even fantasy. While articles of any length will be considered, the ideal is in the region of 2,000 words. Scripts should be double-spaced type written, though manuscript will be accepted. Pictures should preferably, be black and white but colour prints will do—some slight loss of quality occurs. A reasonable level of controversy is the life-blood of any Journal—it promotes thought and discussion. Security however, is always a consideration and, though the ultimate responsibility rests with the Editor, it should be borne in mind when touching upon possible sensitive subjects. As THE GAZETTE is principally a magazine the purely technical article should be avoided, though no hard and fast boundary exists. Why not use THE GAZETTE if you have previously written for publication, why not try your hand if you have not.
