Brit'mag - le numéro 38 est paru
| Dear Readers, The start of the new year has always been a time for new beginnings and making changes, and we know many of you are doing these right now. We here at Brit’mag are also making a few changes.
It has been almost two years since we introduced our 11 issues per year, at no extra cost to our many subscribers. We also made sure that, despite turning around a magazine in half the time, your magazine reached your post box or was available in your local shops on time and we kept the same quality articles within its pages. All this certainly did not happen just by chance, there has been a great deal of commitment, long hours and hard work for everyone working for Brit’mag.

I have now taken the decision to produce Brit’mag back on a bimonthly basis, the same as when it was first launched in September 2005. One reason for this is that I personally need to concentrate more on the activities of Bringing People Together – our fast-growing association. The other reason is that… I didn’t return to Brittany to live with the same levels of stress that I used to have when living in Paris! Many of you will understand this, as it is also one of the reasons you made your move here to rural France.
Our local cover price for your bimonthly magazine will remain the same, at €2.90, with six issues a year. Our new subscription rates can be found on our subscription form at the back of this issue.
We will also be introducing a number of other new things. First, your magazine will be available via our website and will feature some of the latest page-turning software. Second, we’ll also be introducing an electronic newsletter to our subscribers six times per year featuring some of the latest news which could affect you, as well as some of the last-minute events taking place close by. Further enhancements to our website will offer even more important information close to hand.
I would like to thank our many contributors to this issue and especially our friends at P-O Life Life in the Pyrénées-Orientales and in particular Kate, who provided our News in last month’s issue but were missed off our credits.
Chris Luck of the Association Planete Passion, who also writes our regular Wild Nature articles has asked us to mention that the association now has a forum dedicated specifically to wildlife in France, so if you are a keen wildlife watcher or just have a question to ask visit http://planetepassion.freeforums.org/index.php.
So, finally this February issue will be our last monthly one, but we will be back at the end of the month with our new format for March and April.
Until then, I hope you enjoy reading this issue, and remember, we always love to hear from you!
Christine
Founder of Brit’mag
