Dear Friends, 
so this is it...February already. Geeee, its going to be another quick year. Hope you had a nice time over the Festive period, 
wont be long ‘till the next one. So are you ready to deal with what 2012 is  going to fling at us? I know we are,  
I know we can all cope with anything as long as we all stick together and support each other and our clubs and Festivals. 
We have lost far too many clubs already, lets not lose any more!   
Big apologies to our readers and  Stewart Fenwick for the double page mistake within Stewart’s reviews in the last issue, 
the missing reviews are here now. Entirely my fault, would love to be able to blame the printer, but no, it was my mistake.
So, what are your plans for this year? We are not too sure yet, so far we are heading to Halkirk over Easter, then the Americana and 
Invergordon Festivals in July, and of course the White Horse Festival in August. Would love to get to Kelso, the way everyone is talking 
about that great Festival I feel I have an educational gab there somehow, but that always is my busiest time getting the Mag done, 
so I doubt whether we are going to make that again, sorry Bronco. You all will just have to send me loads of letters and pictures again, 
so that we can let everyone know how it was. (You listening, Colt??!!)Sorry that the Mags were a little bit late this time, but I suppose 
it’s the time of year….so much stuff is still to come in and at time of writing this a lot of gigs, adverts and letters are still missing. 
Please….again….send your stuff sooner so that we can get organised on time. I am happy to say that the club reports are 
coming in a bit more, keep them coming, they do help, people want to know what goes on in other clubs.

Sadly there is a lot of illness around again, its never ending is it.
Please, get well soon, our best wishes are with you all!
