A New ATARI Magazine However all is not lost. Do you remember a letter in the last Newsletter from Mike Kerslake ? Well now read the official press release in this issue. THERE...

WEST OF SCOTLAND ATARI USER GROUP (Affiliated to The Association of Atari User groups) Issue number SEVEN, August 1996 The future ? We only have one more meeting and one more newsletter before the September Annual General Meeting. As a result of discussions I've had with various people both in our group and elsewhere I have included with this newsletter a series of detailed, and perhaps controversial proposals. Next months newsletter will have the AGM Agenda so if you have any other proposals you wish placed on the Agenda then please get in touch ASAP.

WEST OF SCOTLAND ATARI USER GROUP (Affiliated to The Association of Atari User groups) Issue number SIX, July 1996 June 11th Meeting There was a smaller turnout at the last meeting (about 15 or so) but that is as I expected to happen as we ran into this time of year. AGM It might seem a bit early but there are only another 2 meetings before the AGM in September. I am looking for some input from the membership prior to this meeting. There will be a formal agenda at the meeting. Obviously the steering committee will put together what they think should be on the Agenda, but it is vital for everybody else to have a say too. So I am looking f...

WEST OF SCOTLAND ATARI USER GROUP (Affiliated to The Association of Atari User groups) Issue number THREE, April 1996 EDITORIAL Hi everyone and welcome to issue #3. My editorial contribution is going to be quite short this month (stop that cheering at the back Thomson). I have just spent a fortnight in North Yorkshire (during which time my car got stolen) so I haven't had as much time as I'd like to prepare this issue. That said, there is a fair bit in it, including some disturbing news about Atari World and Compo UK. More on that later. My thanks to sandy for starting off the preparation of this issue. I'll let him tell everyone about t...
