In This Issue:

Lots of news about a smaller Festival, due to the absence of a host club, but, thanks to the Executive, a Festival nonetheless. President Glenn Keown provides, on the back pages, a narrative description and a Registration Form. The “frugal winemaker”, Blake Galloway, gives some hints on making inexpensive wines from available fruit, and President Glenn Keown in his regular column fills us in on what is happening in the Executive Suite. Also, some thoughts on the status of Mead as a competition; Acid testing revisited; and more.

A reminder, as well, that AWOnews is available via e-mail, and if you would be interested in receiving it in this form please let us know at dunseath@cyberus.ca. This saves the cost of printing and postage, not to mention the work of folding, enveloping, labeling and stamping the issue; from your point of view it means that you get it days before the paper mail version and, to many people, it is more convenient to get it in this form.

Privacy is ensured by sending it out as a set of “blind carbon copies”, so you only see your own address as well as that of the return address to AWOnews, and no-one else sees yours.

All that we ask is that if you change your e-mail address, you make sure that we know about it so that the mail list can be amended. A reminder, as well, that paper mail address changes should always be sent to David Burns, while e-mail changes should be sent to AWOnews. Why not join the electronic mail age?
