BCS Jounal 2011

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I can give you an advance snapshot of this year's BCS Journal contents. I would very much like to thank all contributors, I am grateful indeed for every input, as always. This year I have managed to cram in about 330 photos, in 30-odd articles, over 192 pages. I hope everyone who receives it enjoys it. It has been a massive task! This year I am going to publish one or two of the articles (from this year's, and previous years) on the web, gratis, (subject to permission from Authors, of course) so that non-member clematis fans can have a taste, too. Details to follow.
I will be starting with the publisher next week, so am hoping for publication around mid October - a little earlier, this year. 
In the meantime if anyone would like pdfs of any of my own bits and pieces/articles from previous years, please just let me know, you are welcome if you might enjoy them.
