[modeleng] Re: The sad decision

Hi Ron

I agree - a great disappointment, particularly considering that it was the 
75th Exhibition.    Now that you mention it, I did not see any programmes 
for sale.
I felt the whole thing was disorganised (or perhaps UN-organised!)

I wonder if this is a by-product of the rumoured difficulties besetting the 
two magazines?

I wish you and all the others in 'Our List' a very happy New Year, with good 
health and much successful model-making.

Cheers!

Hubert
