Editorial
Hello, and here we are at long last with the September magazine. I should make the
point that it IS the September issue, because there is a fair chance that you might not
actually receive it until October! I'm afraid that after a long tedious summer down at
Brighton, for a number of reasons it' s taken some time to get back into harness with
the magazine. But what's new? You' ve all come to expect it by now anyway.
And talking of Brighton, it was good to see a few of you down at the arcade
during the summer - it's really great you made the effort, because no bugger else did!
I know I promised I wouldn ' t moan about Brighton this year, but I really wouldn ' t
have believed that trade could get any worse than the last couple of years . .. ... .. but it
has. So, if anyone out there fancies a vintage penny arcade, I may well have one
available very soon, machines included. First come, first served. Great potential!
Now, the year has advanced so much that it is now time to start thinking about
the November auction. Just to remind you all, it takes place on Sunday 24 th November,
usual venue. Entry forms will be included in the October magazine, which by the time
you read this, should be out in a couple of weeks. So start thinking about your entries,
and start emptying the piggy banks - the big day will be upon us quicker than you
think.
Until next time (a couple of weeks)
all the best
Jerry
