I recon there's a few on here who know enough to be able to do a Q&A Dave, but its whether they have the time or nerve to do something like this!

If I was (a lot) more experienced at GYOing I'd love to offer to help, but I really dont have enough experience! Perhaps Nick, Snadger, Jennie, LJ, Pigletwillie, Earthbabe, Alice, Geordie, Don V, Benacre or some of the other more knowledgeable grapes may be able to help!

Well bless you Mrs D. I'm very flattered to be mentioned in that list, but sorry, no expert here. But our experts do know who they are, so come on, would love to see you all taking your place in the mag as reader experts.
Go for it.

I'll ask him when I next see him! He was posting for me - I'm afraid I haven't the knowledge yet on how to post announcements!

What a super idea! I'm still in the very early stages of learning how to GYO - but Nick always comes up with very useful help and advice! I'd nominate Nick if he was up for it. Dexterdog

Hi, thanks for the welcome.

I'm actually Features Editor on GYO - Craig is currently Acting Editor (but thanks for promoting me!)

I'm looking forward to working on the mag and also reading the interesting things you guys have to say!

Mrs D - I'm very flattered by your comment as I certainly wouldn't put myself in that group!

Welcome Kirsty!

The suppling of a photo is the scariest thing, Piccies of myself, Nick or Snadger would either have the laydeez swooning or running for the door.

How big are your carnations Piglet? Or will it be a case of Calendar Girls - "we'll need a considerably bigger carnation?"
