The Guild Gazette is published quarterly in February, May, August and November. Usually 80 pages with 50 editorial and 30 advertising bringing you news of product releases from a myriad of manufacturers.

Of the 50 editorial pages, over half are now in full colour. Content will usually cover descriptions of members' layouts, 'how to do it' articles, kitbuilding reviews, new product reviews and so on. An accompanying news sheet, usually running to 16 pages (in black and white) brings news from around the country and overseas, a diary of upcoming events and members' sales and wants.

If you would like to submit an article for the Gazette, the editor - Paul Heard - is always pleased to receive new material. Just click here to contact him!
