Issue 178 - November 2009

Front Cover Issue 178 November 2009 We hope you have enjoyed reading the last 4 issues from our first year in the Editorial chairs. On our travels around the country giving talks and demonstrations we have met a lot of our readers and it is good to put faces to names. The number of Subscribers has increased significantly, so much so, that almost 30% of our readers are non RPS Members.
We hope more of you will join next year and continue to keep us informed of all the news, views and reports of what is happening in Your AV community.
