EDITORIAL
I hope you enjoy Volume
45 of Summer Times.
Recent appeals for maga‐
zine contributions have
borne fruit, and, with the
valued assistance pro‐
vided by our regular con‐
tributors, this edition
contains the ‘normal’ maximum 64 pages ‐ the
size being governed by postal costs.
However, we do need many more contribu‐
tions for future issues, from as many mem‐
bers, and over as wide a range of topics as
possible. Please send these direct to me (my
details are on page 2) but please do not expect
an acknowledgement unless you particularly
3
ask for one. The vast majority of contributions
appear in the magazine in one form or another
– but not necessarily in the following edition.
Each issue of Summer Times takes some weeks
to prepare to the final print—ready standard,
so acknowledgments do not always get the
priority they perhaps deserve.
Contributions should be submitted, preferably
by e‐mail or on floppy disk, but alternatively
typed, or hand written – but, if the latter, legi‐
bly please!
E‐mailed or floppy disk submissions can eas‐
ily be ‘pasted’ straight into the magazine – all
that is then required is to amend the font, size,
and format and spacing, and to prepare any
photographs. Typed submissions need scan‐
ning, then converting to a text format which
can be edited and amended to the style of the
magazine. Lastly, hand‐written submissions
need completely retyping. All design and type
setting is done in‐house to save the additional
hefty charges that would arise were this to be
left to our printer.
These guidelines are not intended to discour‐
age hand‐written submissions and some of
our best content arrives that way. However, if
you have alternatives at your disposal, or you
can ’borrow’ your children’s or grandchil‐
dren’s computer, please consider trying out
the electronic means of transfer. If you have‐
n’t, don’t be put off from submitting your
handwritten contribution.
My appeal for contributions is but half of the
equation.
You will see elsewhere in the magazine that
your committee appeals for funds to enable us
to continue to produce two editions of Summer
Times each year. We also need funds, but on a
smaller scale, to continue to publish the Old
Scarborians’ web site which attracts acclaim
from far and wide, and which now, inciden‐
tally, attracts more new members than are
gained by ’normal’ postal application.
Remember, virtually all our income comes
from one‐off life subscriptions of only £10.
