NOTES
Those readers that use our Twitter and Facebook
pages will have noticed that we have recently
launched Groundtastic in digital format. Don’t panic
though, there are no plans to stop publishing the
magazine in printed form, it’s just that we are responding to feedback from some readers, particularly those that live in places such as Australia and
the U.S., that have to pay high postage costs. We
have now made all issues from GT78 available in
digital format via the Joomag portal and will be adding back issues when time allows. So, even if you
want to keep receiving your printed copy, you will
eventually have access to back issues online, many
of which are long sold out. To show people how
easy it is to access we have made GT23 available
free on the Joomag website so that you can have a
flick through the pages at leisure and at no cost. For
more information and log-in details see the Tea Bar
section (page 76).
