Hi there my lovlies...

Again, huge and most heartfelt apologies for my absence. Real life demands are on overdrive at the moment, and I am up to my eyebals, plus which it is now the school holdiays. I literally do not have a minute to myself.

As you can see I have uploaded the screenshot of the submissions for the month of July to our new Members Gallery in Collections. Included in the comments is the link to the Gallery, and a link also to each of the submissions. I have decided that each Gallery will follow a quarterly rotation, so this one will cover, July, August and September, and then October, November and December. Also, I will be uploading each batch once a month only, either the last weekend of the month, OR the first weekend of the next month, depending when the last weekend falls each month. Does this make sense? However, members can now submit three deviations a month. Out of each month I will choose one deviation to upload to the club Gallery as a feature.

I know it's a big change, please give it a chance. This should give me a chance to concentrate on other stuff like interviews, features etc.

I will be re-writing the submission guidelines also, so look out for that.

Lastly, we have to say goodbye sadly to =starlit-sky, as she is going away for a while and when she returns is taking up teaching and will have little time to be here. Her help has been invaluable to me, and I will miss her a lot. The June feature which is very late in appearing has been chosen by her, and I will do that in the next couple of days. The July one will then follow a week later. So, goodbye Vasos, we will miss you

That's all for now, back soon with more updates and other 'stuff'
