t’s been quite a year and certainly not in the
way we had expected. As 2020 draws to a
close, I wanted to offer a heartfelt thanks from
myself and everyone at Guideline Publications.
We started 2020 with high hopes for a busy year,
full of exciting plans for our portfolio of hobby
magazines, new book titles, and looking forward
to meeting many of our friends and readers at
hobby shows across the United Kingdom,
Europe and North America. Then came the
pandemic and all that changed. We know how
difficult it has been for those affected directly
and indirectly by the Coronavirus and its fall-out,
as many of you have told us, and we are
delighted to have been, in some small way, able
to help by providing people with a chance to
escape into their hobby and away from the
gloom of the pandemic. We could not have done
this, however, without the constant support of
our editorial staff, our contributors, our
advertisers, our subscribers, and readers. David,
Chris, Gary, George and Mark, ably assisted by
Colin, George, Jan, Jon and Paul (not to mention
our designers, Andy, Lincoln and Mark) have
worked tirelessly to bring you the best in hobby
publications. Our contributors have sometimes
set aside their own challenges and worries to
meet our editorial deadlines, while our
advertisers and friends in the hobby have
supported us throughout what have often also
been challenging times for them. Most of all,
however, I would like to thank our subscribers,
new and old, whose commitment to Guideline
Publications makes such a difference when so
many of our usual outlets were closed, and to
every one of our readers who has bought our
magazines and books and supported us
throughout the year. We approach 2021 full of
optimism for the future and with renewed
energy to continue to bring you the very best in
hobby publications. We have exciting new
collaborations and new titles in the offing and,
perhaps most of all, we are excited about
attending shows again and meeting the people
that make our hobbies so important a part of
our lives. So, on behalf of everyone at Guideline
Publications, a sincere thank you for your
support and our very best wishes for a successful
and healthy 2021.
