Contributions for Cyclonda

We welcome contributions of articles, photographs, news etc to Cyclonda, which should be sent to the editor, Cathy Melia. If anyone is thinking of sending material, especially electronically, please be aware that Cathy is using a rather antiquated PC with dial-up internet access, so that sending her large files, particularly with photographs, can cause her system to ‘lock up’!

If possible, please send any articles in either plain text or Word 2000 format. If there are any photographs then please send each image in a separate e-mail, with no one e-mail being larger than about 1 Megabyte. If you are in any doubt, or are not sure about what you wish to send, then please contact Cathy beforehand to discuss. If you don’t have access to a computer, then typed (or even hand-written) text and printed photos are fine! Cathy Melia - Cyclonda Editor.
