Production:

• Contacting past and potential authors for material and encouraging and helping them to make contributions.
• Contacting past and possible advertisers helping them produce the material for their advert. if necessary, and getting this into a suitable form for the magazine.
• Ensuring that prepaid advertisements set to run beyond the Winter 97/98 issue are inserted in as many subsequent issues as necessary without further charge. (If the final circulation figures for this issue are much lower than previous issues I think we should allow an extra insertion free of charge also).
