Hi Karen, I'm from a place called Harwich on the north east cost of Essex in
the uk ( about 70 miles north east of London) and would certainly like to
support any initiative to get a subscription service going for the AGA
magazines. Unfortunately, i dont know of any other hobbyists in my locality
who might also wish to subscribe but i'm definitely interested.
