Editorial
I hope you like the format of the Bulletin this year. I have moved away from the two-column format of recent years because it restricts the freedom to put diagrams and photographs amongst the text. The digital camera has come of age, so it is easy to include the pictures that come with your text.

I am pleased to welcome new authors in this issue and I hope this will encourage other to set pen to paper, or perhaps � finger to keyboard.

Ken Butler
