INDEX news & other webpages -- a print magazine -- it's big !
What we do is first print & distribute the magazine for 1 Jan/May/Sept. Then we update online. The current issue of the entire magazine is free online ! It's big (60-64 A4 pages) so 4 websites - the majority on this main site has our members' news and summary listings. Copied online, with ④ websites:

Pages 19-49. Also our Festivals & Workshops Diary, for the next 12 months Pages 50-60.
