Editorial
And so we come to the end of yet another Box and Fiddle season. Next month will see you magazine entering its 34th year. As you will note from the Subscription Form the price has risen by a modest 10p to cover increased printing and postage charges.
We hope that you will renew your subscription and help us to keep our kind of music alive. Your support is very much appreciated.
Next month will have a full report from the AGM and celebrity Luncheon. It was decided at the AGM that, in order to make room for more varied articles, interviews etc, the Club Reports should, from now on, be restricted to 300 words maximum. This will become effective from September.
