Well I haven't recieved any
submissions for anything yet - I
beg of you please send something in - an idea you have had. It
can
be as simple as that, 1/2 an article that you once wrote. Anything
to
do with CW - please.
Both the CWML and HVD needs
support badly - and the only place
that support can come from is you - the reader. Remember you
do gain
some entertainment and relaxation from this (or at least I presume
you do), so how about helping the poor mug who has to write all this,
you can even send in an idea for something you'd like to see.
Also it
might be an article you half finsihed - but would like to see
published. Remember this is your mailing list as much as it is
anyone
elses.
All these links can be found
at
"http://www.mpx.com.au/~dgbarton/james/links.html"
Any contributions, news or
questions can be sent to.

NEWS:
CADC:
Are looking for more members,
their racing season is soon to
start. They are currently looking for 2-4 more duellers.
CADC are
centred around Detroit, so anyone in the area, support this group
and give the president, Tim Gould a mail : 'timgould@sprynet.com'.
Along these lines it may be helpful if everyone sent in which state
they lived in, for things like this.
CWML:
The readership or list of
subscribers is increasing fairly
rapidly, there now being around 70 subscribers. As of yet no
one has
dropped off the list. I am desperate for contribution though.
I am
running short of articles for this and HVD. What I would really
like
is some club news (duels, conventions, tournament and duel
descriptions). Many clubs out there do not have pages, etc, and
this
would be a great place to advertise for upcoming duels, new members
and tell the CW world (the internet one at least) what is going on.
I
would really like to hear from some CW clubs or AADA chapters.
Even
if you are just a member, tell your president about this and send in
some submissions.
ADQ:
I haven't heard anything
about ADQ coming back into existance
although I will endeavour to find out more for the next issue.
Re the
ADQ html programme, i have been asked by the webmaster of SJ-Games
to
help with this process - hopefully I can get started on this soon and
get the last few episodes up and running. Anyone interested in
helping
should first look at the section under the ADQ acrhive at SJ-Games.
HVD:
A fair bit has happened
for HVD since the last issue. Firstly
HVD will soon have a permanent home at SJ-Games (www.sjgames.com) a
new server they are setting up. Thus it will become an official
site.
Issue #5 will remain at geocities and a process of updating the
graphics, etc of the old issues will also be beginning. Issue
#5 is
due out APR-25, and any submissions are due APR-5. If you have
something then please email me ASAP, even if you can't have it finished
by APR-5, then just send me an msg, telling me what it is, etc.
I
haven't recieved any submissions yet - and I would really like to make
this the best HVD yet.
A huge thanks goes to all
those who offered me space for HVD,
these included many things. And it was in response to this that
I
recieved mail from SJ-Games, hopefully this will usher in a brave new
world for HVD and the CWML. Some of the ppl who offered suggestions:
Bruce Lam (AVRO), Steve Jackson, webmaster at cityguide.com (offered
10 MB of space), Christopher Kelly, David Gregg & Jackie Hamilton
(webmaster at SJ-Games). Once again thanks to all these people,
continuing the tradition of HVD.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd realy like to hear from
some ppl offering CW information
for this and HVD. Again I harp back on the fact that the more
I get
the more I send out and the better this stuff will be. In particular
some of the newer subscribers to get involved - this is probably the
only outlet you have available for CW. Fiction and other developement
articles are encouraged and begged for here.
