Hello again everyone.
Rumours about the end of my secondment
off the road have been greatly
exaggerated. It may now be October
before I go back to my Paramedic role.
Until then, I am off the road
organising Clinical Audit.
Despite many people ordering the
magazine, there have been very few
software submissions sent in again. As
a result of this, I have reduced the
DFS issue down to a single disc for
this and subsequent issues (until
further notice that is!).
Those members sending 2 DFS discs will
see that I have placed TBI-00, the
catalogue/info disc onto disc two.
Those of you that paid an extra 50p for
the second disc need not pay the 50p
fee for the next issue.
Those members in credit receiving the
issue automatically will notice that
their credit total on the address
sticker does not take into account my
changing the issue from 2 to 1 discs.
However, the database has been amended
accordingly. Those Members receiving
the issue automatically will only
receive one disc and will have had
their credit reduced by only £1, NOT
£2.
If any one has any queries about their
credit, please do not hesitate to
contact me!
If you were trying to contact me during
August, you will have failed miserably
as I was away on several holidays,
making up for the last couple of years.
I spent quite some time in Skipton,
didn't see you Jim! I also went to
Sherwood Forest for a while, followed
by The North York moors for another
while.

David Bradforth has announced that as
a direct result of the bad review in
8BS of the TimeSlip game, while stocks
last, the game is down to £1.45. When
stocks run out, the game will be lost
forever. If anyone buys both XLCR and
Moonbase Beta, then they will receive
TimeSlip free of charge.
Jon Ripley has rejoined us after a long
spell trying to get a BBC user group
off the ground without any success. It
would seem that he chose (on my
prompting) to have a go just as the
field was drastically reducing.
Interest in the BBC is boiling down to
just a few core supporters. There are
still many people out there unaware of
the support that is available for their
BBCs. Jonathan Harston was good enough
to pay for an advert for 8BS to appear
in The Acorn User Green Pages. So far I
have received 2 enquiries via that
advert I think. Stan Casperd (I think)
was responsible for 8BS getting a
mention in the September 1997 Practical
Wireless. This has already swamped me
with enquiries (alright, about 16 then)
Steven Flintham (15A) has sent us an
updated messaging system. Info on this
issue. He says that he is going to be
very busy soon and now is the time to
make suggestions for changes to his
software before he becomes too busy
(although he cannot promise anything).
The 8BS get together was another fine
success. More details of the events of
the weekend in the next issue. Ebtel
has run into a temporary glitch, do not
despair, the project is still underway,
more details next time.
Thanks again to Paul Clucas for
checking out the issue for us once
more.
See you next time!
