Editorial
It was lovely to see so many ‘weel kent’ faces at this year’s AGM and Celebrity Luncheon. Congratulations to the Guests of Honour and also to the BAFFI winners. John Carmichael did an absolutely superb job as Compere, most of us are still laughing at his jokes! We’ll carry a full report in next month’s issue.
It was agreed at the AGM that the cover price of the B&F would increase to £2.30 in the new season. Postal rates are about to increase, but we will know by next month exactly how much a full year’s subscription will be.
