Welcome to your new-look magazine!

After a bloodless coup, control of this august organ has been seized by a benevolent despot who describes his mission as being "to inform, entertain, stir things up a bit and bring out four issues a year". This issue sees several new features, including a page of editorial comment (read - license to publish heresy). Anyone who wants to submit some philosophical musings on something related in some way to SUSS's activities can send me something for this page. But, of course, you can send in the usual stuff too - if you think you've got what it takes to survive in the cut-and-thrust of speleoliterature, just cast your eyes over the blurb below.

Submission Guide

All trip co-ordinators are reminded of SUSS By-Law 16 a), which states:

Trip co-ordinators are strongly encouraged to submit, within a period of three months from the conclusion of an official trip, a report of that trip to the Editor of the Society Bulletin, detailing any observations of speleological or practical interest made during the trip, and any additional information the trip co-ordinator desires to include.

Remember folks, this is your Bulletin! All material in here is present because someone cared enough to write it down and send it in. This not only makes your Bulletin more interesting to read - it also makes it a more valuable reference tool for the cavers of the future.

Your contribution doesn't have to be huge. Drawings, literary extracts, puzzles, commentary - anything will do, so long as it's interesting. But make sure it gets submitted!

As an experiment, your editor has decided to try and produce this publication electronically. For this reason, he is encouraging the more technophilic of you to submit electronically if possible. The editorial machine, recently proclaimed to the NSW Speleo Council to be a 'Dinosaur', is an IBM PC running Word for Windows 2.0, so if you're not using this format please try to give me your work in a form it can cope with (RTF is usually OK).
