For the launch of our 'Snake Valley Astronomical Association' I submitted an article to our Shire Newsletter last week.
Now, having written many articles in the past, I am used to editors cutting things to the bare bones and shoving my story in a spare spot on page 20. It is to be expected!
Our Newsletter came out today and I got the shock of my life.
My article, in it's entirety, is the front cover of this months issue!!!!!! Nothing else is there. The whole cover is my article.
Mind you, it does help when our Mayor is an Amateur Astronomer, the editor of the newsletter, and going to be a part of our association.
In the article I mention such things as incorrect street-lighting, my wish that our district remain dark (hint hint), recent discoveries, and obviously our Astronomical Association.
I might just have to call our Mayor 'The Mayor of Astronomy'
