Given that it is only aimed at a circulation of about 2000, this is an astonishingly glossy and professional magazine. We owe its success to Lawrence Williams who manages to corall enough residents to provide articles each time, and then converts it all into an extremely interesting community magazine. (My opinion on how interesting it is may be a little coloured by the fact that I contribute articles.) It comes out four times a year. One day he will give up and we'll be back to something in black and white and hand-stapled. If you have anything interesting to comment on, please get in touch with Lawrence about contributing an article.
