FROM THE PUBLISHER

The future of BACKPASS is in severe doubt. Print costs and retail charges have escalated significantly in the last couple of years, postal charges continue to increase on an annual basis and it is becoming ever harder to maintain our standards while keeping the cover price at a realistic level.

Our goal was to at least reach the milestone of 100 issues but sadly that now looks highly unlikely: as things stand the next edition, No.90, is likely to be the last. If that does prove to be the case, all subscribers will be able to claim a refund and the procedure will be explained in No.90 which will be published in mid-August. We are unsure whether this edition will appear in the shops but details of how to pre-order are in Issue 89.

Whatever the outcome, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all subscribers for their loyalty over the past 17 years. It has often been a real struggle to carry on and we would never have got this far without your wonderful support.
