Newsprint Spring 2011

Post by George Love »

Hello Readers,
It's about that time when I'm starting to pull together the articles for the next issue of your favourite Mag. and see what I've got in the folder marked for publishing. At present,I have the usual event reports and one or two other bits and pieces. BUT - in the interests of making the magazine span a wide appeal - I could do with a few more items of general interest away from the racing scene. For example, the "Up a Lazy River" story in the last issue by Simon Rowell really hit the spot for me. A few other suggestions might include:
-Hints and tips :idea:
-What's happening at your club or local scene 8)
-Your favourite place to sail :D
-something from our members outside the UK :arrow:
-anything amusing or scurrilous tittle tattle in either written or picture form :lol:
-have you recently joined the Assoc.? What's your first impressions? :!:
-anything of historical importance or interest :o
These are just a few ideas. The Mag. is very much what you make it and I get a great deal of pleasure in putting it together especially when I have a wide range of articles to work with. It's also good to be able to include anything that's not previously been covered on the website. I'm also happy to develop any ideas from a few initial words and pics. if you're short of time - we all lead very busy lives.
There's also still time to enter the 'Caption Competition' in the last issue - see page 35 in the Autumn 2010 edition
As ever, the usual place to send stuff is: newsletter@sprint15.com
Here's hoping and standing by- :P
Cheers

George, I have been sailing and racing Sprints for a couple of seasons (and not much else before that). I always look forward to the magazine as it is a good read but often with many useful Hints and Tips (some duplicated on the main website). I just looked at the Articles link and noticed the following list of suggested future articles, and most of them if you could find a contributor would be of interest to me.

How to look after your Dart 15
Just how do I get that on my roof rack?
Where can I get spare parts from? (alternative suppliers?)
So whats this Traveller Series all about?
A newbies guide to the Nationals
A pond dwellers guide to tidal sailing

I am based at Thorpe Bay and the last would be a highlight as I still haven't worked out the main points of Tidal Sailing.

Thanks.
