# Editor’s Notes

Tine Designs Magazine recently had a newsletter competition for Sinclair/Timex User Groupe. We submitted our May issue. Surprisingly, we did not finish last.

Nor, did we finish first. Said the judges, “…. clean production. Interesting articles … leaning more heavily to the QL. This Sinclair SIG has been around since “day one”. It has had sone upe and downs …”

Rarely does a judgee agree with a judge, but we agree entirely. An editor with a QL knows others who sometimes let us twist their arms and our active group is heavily into QLs.
