[Origami] BOS magazine

[Dennis Walker]

Dear women of the origami community! 

My name is Saffiya and I've been given the honour of editing a very special
edition of the BOS magazine for this October in order to mark 100 years of
Women's suffrage in the UK. 

I would love to hear from you with models, articles or reviews to include,
or ideas of things you'd like to see included. I've received some wonderful
contributions so far and have enjoyed reading the stories of teaching and
experiences that have been shared. It's been a real treat for me to hear
about others'  experiences of origami and learn about female origami artists
around the world. I'd really love to hear from more of you so we can make
this a bumper special edition! There are so many talented, inspiring female
origami artists out there that we could easily fill extra pages with all
this wonderfulness. 

Just to introduce myself... I've been a member of the BOS for around 8 years
now. I am not very good at folding and hopeless at designing, but my real
love is teaching origami and encouraging those who have never even heard of
it before to have a go! When time allows, I teach origami sessions at my
local libraries in Slough. I also like to find excuses to incorporate
origami into my workplace (always a welcome break from sitting at a computer
all day!) like getting everyone in the team folding a basketball hoop during
a meeting. 

Please send your contributions via Dennis at edi...@britishorigami.info
  and he will ensure I receive these. If
you'd like to get in touch with me directly then please contact Dennis and
he can pass your details onto me to get back to you. 

I'm really looking forward to hearing from you!

[Origami] [ADMIN] Server changes, hopefully user-invisible!

[Anne LaVin]

Hi everyone -

In an effort to stem the rising flood of list spam (which, thankfully, only
we admins have to deal with - so far nothing gets through to the list
itself) I've made a couple of back-end server changes.

This should not be user-visible in any way; but on the odd chance that you
suddenly find that you cannot send email to the list, please *contact me
directly* and let me know.

(This is the one situation in which you should not use the administrative
list address to contact us. Recall that the regular admin address for all
list-function-related questions is:

  

and which you've all added to your address books, by now, I'm sure.)

Thanks, as you were, fold something, write about it, etc., etc.

Anne
