I did it for a canny while Carol, but without looking through old Whippet News issues I am not sure how many years/ issues etc i did it for. I enjoyed it when I did it but due to work and mostly family commitments I could not continue. but you do a fantastic job of it Carol I always go straight to your report when the WN arrives to read what's going on in the north east whippet world, long may you continue. Chris started the regional reports when she took over as the editor of whippet news so ask Chris how long she's had the WN and that's the answer to how long they have been going for. Chris totally revamped the WN when she took it over she turned it into a much better quality Magazine

Cheers
