Now hands up those those who are prepared to be treasurer of Quanta.
If absolutely no one else is willing to do this then I would attempt the
task. However, the results could be unpredictable. You might find that
subscriptions had to be paid in groats every Hogmanay.
Thanks George.
There is however another problem - although I don't expect you to solve that
as well - that a member of the committee emailed me about yesterday.
At the moment Quanta has no magazine editor. John Gilpin has definitely
stepped down and there is no replacement. The committee are currently
putting together an emergency issue of the magazine because of a legal
obligation to publish matters before the AGM. No one knows what will happen
after that.
Unless someone steps forward to edit the magazine it is difficult see how
the committee would have the resources to continue producing the magazine.
Look after your next Quanta Magazine - it could be a collector's item.
Let me use this space to pay a tribute to John. We owe an enormous debt to
him. Without John's work Quanta would have had to have been wound up two or
three years ago. I did not want to see a person of his honesty and integrity
inadvertently finding himself on the wrong side of the law,
Best Wishes,
Geoff
