Happy New Year!...

Well, we reach the end of 2020, and sadly not everybody came through unscathed.  I hope wherever you are the damage was minimal, and wish you continuing health for the new year.

I'd like, as usual to thank you all, wether you've visited, contributed, joined the Facebook group or done anything to keep this magazines legacy alive, and we will continue on until we have the complete collection, so keep visiting and keep the faith.

Special thank yous, as always to Dan, who has been as brilliant as ever this year, and also Ken, who has been great too, look forward to more from them,

Also if you didn't know, Look-in will be 50 in 9 days, watch this space...

All the best..!!.....

John.
