Editorial

The Newsletter has to be a multiple of four pages and this issue has been a little tricky to get into the required fit. So much so that I’ve given up my slot in the “Committee News” section to keep the pagination right! So a couple of things that should go in there will come in here. First my apologies to those expecting a question and answer item from Liam Robinson. All has gone quiet out there in Lincolnshire, but I’m working on it. The letters section has a suggestion that colour could be used for the photos in the on-line PDF format of the Newsletter and I’ll look at that once I complete all the archive editions I have to hand. The idea of electronic distribution has been raised in the past and basically discounted, as the volume of mailing would swamp the server.

A trio of related items running in this issue relate to the PEL, getting to know your local council officers and practice rooms. The link might seem tenuous but it’s the Federation. English Miscellany asked for help and got it via the Federation. Fee Lock the Federation secretary gives advice on how to build a relationship with the people who run the system. And, where ever you practise, the insurance that comes with Federation membership gives you basic cover, and for just a bit extra you can add personal injury cover. So if you thought membership was just about insurance think again!
