Thanks for the email and advice, Malcolm. I'm not planning on going off half-cocked: I'm sure they'll tell me to keep my nose out of what's not my business, and they'd be right. But I'd like to get a notion of what they're planning for the rag. I reviewed it twenty years or so ago, and it was at that time bloody awful, I suspect for the same reason: EFDSS doesn't appear to know, and maybe has never known, who its public is. Is it the current membership or is it a larger (potential) membership - and how much water can they afford to put in the present wine, already, as I understand, quite acqueous?
