Editorial for this Issue

The good news is that Issue No.1 has completely sold out. The bad news, such as it is, is that we shall not be reprinting so there will be no more copies for us to sell. Anyone who failed to see Issue 1 will therefore have to beg, steal or borrow someone else's copy. The Lenton Times magnum of 'Vimto', awarded for most sales achieved, goes to Rex Langford, at Hillside Post Office, who found homes for 125 copies. May we thank him and all the other local retailers', who helped sell the magazine. Once again we have chosen to concentrate on one topic - this time the Nottingham canal. The print run for Issue 2 has been increased to 1,200 copies, so we earnestly hope readers find the articles of interest.  If this proves to be the case, may we ask you to tell friends and neighbours about the magazine and encourage them to get their own copy.

Our slogan is 'GET BEHIND THE TIMES!'
