Minster Matters Magazine Blog

Hi Folks

Well things haven’t gone quite as planned as the new printers have had a hiccup with files we sent them, so publication date has been set back to the 1st or 2nd of the month (no later we hope!!)

Have received a proof copy though and pictures sure look a whole lot better quality so hopefully finished article will be the same.

Recording has been completed and the Master disk has been burnt, now just got to make the copies and print off the covers and disk faces so hopefully these too should be ready by Thursday at the latest.

See you all at the Show on Sat 18th

Hi Folks

The July issue has gone off to the printers today (24hrs late) but we are still hopeful that we will get it back for the weekend for distribution

Audio CD is being recorded tomorrow so that too should be ready over the coming weekend

The magazine is being printed by another company this month so we’ll have to wait and see what the quality is like, hopefully as good as we have now, but time will tell.

The June CD was late in going out due to a lack of ink in the printer, but that’s now been sorted and they have been distributed.

On a different note we have uploaded the pictures Diane (Snappy) and Ray (Editor) took on their recent trip up the tower at St Mary’s Church, see the link in right-hand menu ‘Minster from St Mary’s’ where you’ll find 112 images for your perusal.

Hi All

The magazine has now been distributed and the CD is in the process of being burnt and printed ready for distribution on Monday

Here is the latest podcast

June issue went off to print at the weekend so hopefully we’ll see it back by around Friday. Apologies now for anything we’ve omitted that we just didn’t have space for, or that arrived after our cut off date, but very gratefully we nearly always receive more than we can accomodate so meeting our copy deadline is really important if you have something you wish us to include.

Audio recording is being done a day later than normal this week but we hope to get the finished CD’s and the Podcast out by early next week.

Our intentions to produce limited copies in Large Print format have hit a stumbling block at present, as we have been trying to negotiate office space to get this set up (because I just don’t have room at home), but 5 months down the line we still haven’t had a decision of any sort from KCC Libraries. Nevertheless we’ll keep plugging away at them and maybe (fingers crossed) we will have better news next month, which would be in time for the KVOY judging (assuming we make it through to the next round) and would therefore be another “feather in our cap” towards making Minster a great place to live.

Another month has flown past and we are here again to offer you access to our latest podcast issue, which you can download from the link below.

Hard copies of Issue 103 have now “hit the streets” and the CD is in the process of being printed, so should be available on Monday.

Apologies for the lateness of this blog update, but my only excuse is my state of health over the past 2 or 3 weeks

Anyhow you can now download the latest issue from our website along with the MP3 file or the podcast is available here

The CD was also late hitting the streets this month, due to the same reasons as above. I thank Nora for stitching together our recording files on her return from holiday, without her help it probably wouldn’t be available even now

We’ll try to do better in May, I really hate missing deadlines and I am mad at myself for missing these April ones

Hi All

The new issue is now available at the normal outlets and the pdf file is available for download from our publications page

For those of you who download the MP3 files from our publications page, due to constraints on webspace, we now only upload the full file and no longer split it into 3 smaller sections

The problems we had with ISSUU have now been resolved and the auto flip copy of magazine is again available on publications page
