RMweb Gold PhilH Posted November 12, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2009 I think that given the quality of the gazette (this month being a really good read), plus the other bits and bobs, GOG membership is a bit of a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dilbert Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I always look forward to receiving the Gazette and this issue is up to the same standard. In the regular features, I like the structure of the product reviews, especially the fact that the supplier is given the opportunity to comment on the review of the product - an approach which overall strikes a good balance. The trade news is as always a diverse and interesting read and I thought the tribute to Gordon Waller well penned...dilbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Phil, That Reading show I told you about is on Saturday the 5th Dec so if your roster permits you, and you want to go and you would like a lift drop us a line. All the best, Martyn.
