From the Editor:
Hello Ms!
We are back with the latest issue of your magazine.
And if it feels like it has been a long wait, then let us assure you it has
been worth waiting for!
There are two things that make this issue special.
One, there is a new page that will be a regular feature of the magazine
– Crossword Puzzles. So along with the regular puzzle page, there is more to
make you scratch your head ;)
And two, the winning entry of the Mensa Photographer of the Year for
the national round is published in this issue.
We are always looking for fresh ideas, columns, articles, and feedback
to make your magazine better.
So, keep writing to us... we are listening.
