Rock Garden Quarterly

[McGregor]

Great to know the Quarterly is spreading out - heard from Sue Olsen in Bellevue, WA, that its got to her, so its getting around. And its really nice that people like the new format. Hope its going to start arriving in Europe in the next week.

I just received my NARGS journal last week and have to say all the changes have made for an awesome read.  Absolutely nothing to dislike.

Great work to everyone involved.

Hi Norm:  As a rather old "newbie", welcome.  Guess, since you have already received the Quarterly, mine shouldn't be long in coming either.  I too like the new format - the old one was great as well but sometimes  a change is refreshing, both for editors and recipients.  Am amazed at all the volunteer work that goes into these things.  Fran

Hello Norm,
Glad to see you here as well.
 Hope you find the forum as informative as I do!

Just curious if anybody on the East Coast has received a copy yet.  I was hoping to get it before we get snowed in and the USPS decides to not run!

[Spiegel]

Mary Ann, I just got mine towards end of last week.  Yours must be on the way.

[Booker]

Not arrived in northern England yet Malcolm.

My own copy hasn't arrived this side of the Pennines either, Cliff - but now I'm starting to expect it any day !

And for Mary Ann and Chuck - on the East Coast of US Bill Brown on Long Island has got it a couple of days ago  -and he's often a late arrival. So it can't be long.

I haven't got mine either. Have been looking for it the last weeks!

[Lori S.]

I finally got mine on Jan. 13 - lots of interesting reading!  I like the new format - very fresh and colourful, and it is especially nice to have photos within the articles.

[McGregor]

Good to know its got to you Lori. And that you liked it.

 Still no sign that it has arrived in Europe (including UK) - you're not the only one Trond - hope its close.

[Wainwright]

My copy arrived last Friday (14th) and it's been a great weekend read! I find the new format with pictures throughout very reader friendly. Thanks for all the hard work!

Hasn't made it to Australia yet (at least not to Central Victoria)

Hi Malcolm,
No sign of my Quarterly yet, but I have been informed that a member just north of me received hers two days ago.

My personal copy has arrived this morning so yours should be there any time. Copies left Allen Press on December 17th (for everywhere) so we are obviously all at the whim of US and international postal services. I always used to reckon that it took up to six weeks for my copy to arrive in England after the nominal publication date. Doesn't seem to be quite that long - and this was a difficult issue to judge by because of Christmas and New Year. Apparently foreign copies go to Chicago where they are sent overseas in country batches (perhaps only twice a week) and only then split up and sent on individually.
