AAR EDITOR’S REPORT – 2010 AGM ANNEX E It has been a roller coaster year for the Horse’s Mouth this past 12 months – some issues were out on time and others very late – my sincere apologies for the late issues. I have enjoyed the challenges as editor especially putting out the newsletter whilst “on the road” that stretched my computer prowess as well as your patience. Thank you for your patience. Out of the Western Sunset is Eric “Bolt” Blythe’s (WA) initiative and a welcome addition to the Horse’s Mouth. Bolt’s regular contributions help to keep both sides of this huge continent of ours in touch with each other. Jim Forster’s story has proven popular and you will be pleased to know Part 2 will be in the April issue. The Help pages in the HM have decreased in size and content over the past few issues and I believe that this is mainly due to the increased use of the AAR website (and other internet sites such as e-bay) and the AAR Chat Room. I predict that the use of the HELP pages will decrease further in content over the coming years and this is to be expected and welcomed because the use of the internet allows faster turnover to meet our members’ needs. As with just about everything else, the costs of putting out the Horse’s Mouth have increased quite markedly during my time as editor. After the Evans Head Rally, Allan and I visited Adrian Meston, Downs Mailing Service in Toowoomba, to research ways to reduce or defray the increasing costs of the HM, and we came away with a number of hints and ideas; for example Adrian showed us how to increase content without increasing the number of pages of the HM. In addition, we took up the challenge of seeking advertisers who would be of interest to our members and that has proven successful. Postage and handling costs for the magazine are increasing also and one way you the members can help to reduce costs is to reduce the number of magazines that contain a second renewal reminder notice by renewing membership before April of each year, and guarantee you do not miss receiving your copy of the HM. The variety of articles has proven popular with members as the AAR committee has passed on to me the good feedback about these. So I urge members to keep sending in articles, stories, reminiscences, jokes and humour, and technical information to the editor. You should eventually see your efforts in the HM. The challenge will be to keep the HM relevant for our members – its social, technical and historical content and contact between members, particularly those members who choose not to have computer, should help to keep the HM popular for the next few years at least. As I advertised in each issue for the past 12 months I will not be standing for the position of editor this year. It is a rewarding and vital job for the AAR, although not well paid, in fact there is no monetary reward, but I would urge each and every one of you to consider taking on the position. And so I say goodbye as editor knowing I have served the AAR to the best of my ability. Don’t panic, the April rally issue will be put out by me, my final hurrah!
