Printing Sponsership

My most difficult job as Editor is finding a sponsoring printer. There is a very small group of companies who are willing to print an edition (Chevron, Dana Petroleum, GL Noble Denton, Shell, HESS, Burnett & Reid) and I now find myself asking the same person twice a year. If your company would be able to print an edition – now only 90 copies – please get in touch.

The next difficult job is replacing distributors of the paper copies. I am delighted to welcome to the team: Stuart, Ruth, Frank and Aileen but two more will “retire” in the summer so if you can take an e-mail copy please do sign up for one by sending an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it (don’t forget to mention your home address so I can cancel the paper copy). Or please consider if you would be able to distribute a few copies to your near neighbours.

The least difficult job is finding enough news – more and more articles etc. keep coming and that’s the fun part!
