Title: PROSPERO? Post by Maggie on Jan 3rd, 2025, 8:50pm I have often been asked to submit Obituaries over the years. A Costume Designer died in September, I submitted the Obituary in October to be told the next edition will be in APRIL? Two editions a year? What's going on there? |

Title: Re: PROSPERO? MILDREW Post by Maggie on Jan 6th, 2025, 8:23pm Many thanks for this information, I had no idea. The irony is that those who most welcome PROSPERO are of a certain generation who do not cope well with "online". |

Apart from which I get a nice warming feeling of still being connected to my former employer when Prospero arrives through the letterbox. I would happily pay a (small) subscription for 12 editions a year. |
