Dragonfly
Jason Andrews is currently exploring alternative ways of distributing future copies of Dragonfly, and before making any changes is looking for some feedback from Club members.
One idea being considered is to publish Dragonfly as a pdf file that can be downloaded from the members area of the website. The idea being that when a new issue is uploaded members would be informed via this mailing list that a new issue was available for download.
This approach would enable us to go back to publishing the magazine in full colour. Siince Jim Hay's departure to Spain printing in colour is I'm afraid simply too expensive, and full colour really does make all the difference to flying articles. It would also cut down on the lead time of each issue making it easier to include last minute information, and of course cut out some of the more labour intensive work currently undertaken by the editor.
But first we need to try to gauge is how many members would be happy to receive their Club mag this way. So please get in touch with Jason to let him know what you think.
