Stuart I am having some difficulties getting the Mac to accept this email. No idea if I am doing it right. I'll have to chat with you on Tuesday.
Everyone else, here are the details.
I am thinking 4-8 pages, in PDF format, seeing as I have now worked out how to sort it out, once a month. Again Stuart I will have to speak to you about how I then distribute it. I didn't see Paul at TWG much today, as I want to see if he wanted to keep us informed on their goings on.
The first page or two will contain any upcoming news, with regards to the club, or the local community. With regards to contributions, once I get the email up and running, feel free to send things through.
Battle reports - I will try to fit these in, but if there are a deluge of them, I will have to pick and choose, which to publish. No offence if yours gets subbed, but there will only be so much room.
Articles - If you fancy committing to a series, let me know in advance, because if several people are wanting to write the same sort of articles, then I will have to rotate these. Unlike Battle Reports though, the shelf life on these, are a bit longer, they can be kept for a later issue. I will try to let people know, if there are clashes, so at least you will know whats going on. Other than that any one off articles, such as tournament reports, event reviews etc, would be great. Alan gave a good few ideas, on what you could possibly contribute. I am also thinking, it would be nice to branch out from the Wargaming world a little. Read a great book, you think the geeks would love, write a book report. Found a super TV series, you think some of us may have missed out on, review it. Played a great new board game, let us know. However remember that we have quite a young membership at the club, so remember that when writing your reviews, not only when selecting your topic (although I know Rach may well be tempted to review Proteus,) but any language used.
Submissions - Once the email is working for me, I will publish it, so you can contribute. If you can finalise the article how you want it, great. If not, supply me any text you want, and any pictures you want included with captions, and I will try and manufacture it into an article. Bare in mind that the article I attached above comes in just shy of 600 words. I want to aim for a late May publication, so feel free to start writing now.
