For those of you too young to remember the last edition, Dark Peak News is the club\u2019s regular printed newsletter in which we reflect on members&#8217; triumphs, travels, trials, tribulations and traumas. It\u2019s been out of circulation for far too long now, due to some very difficult personal circumstances which I\u2019m pleased to say are now behind me. The club committee met on Monday and considered whether we should now try to get the magazine back into print, and if so how often. Happily the consensus was that the mag remains a vital part of club communications and that we should aim to re-establish a regular quarterly cycle of publication. We agreed that the mag should appear in mid February, (reflecting on winter adventures and looking ahead to the Edale Skyline, Burbage race and agm), mid May (reporting back on the aforesaid), late August\/early September, and late November, (looking back on the club champs and dinner). I was given a mandate to kick-start the recuperation with a bumper edition in November, followed by a one-off Christmas Special if we can muster the material. Production editor Tim Mackey and I would now like to get cracking on this, but we will need everybody\u2019s help if we are to succeed, (especially as my portable hard drive has crashed and died \u2013 I had all my magazine material on it). So, if you\u2019ve been up to anything at all that might interest other people in the club, please feel free to put finger to keyboard and produce something that we can all share. The same goes for any snippets of scandal that you might want to share with Chase the dog, any Dark Peak artefacts that you may care to photograph and write about, any gear that you might want to review, or any stunning photographs that you\u2019ve taken that could grace the covers or centrespread. If you\u2019d like to discuss an idea before you commit yourself, please feel free to give me a ring, drop me a line, or just give me a quick tweet, (my Twitter ident is spikefodder). I\u2019ll also be ringing people from time to time to suggest ideas, so please expect a call if you\u2019ve just done something magnificent, (or entertainingly embarrassing!) I look forward to hearing about your adventures.<\/div>\n<div align=\"right\">Cheers,<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\">DH<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK folks, don\u2019t laugh, but Dark Peak News is about to make a long overdue return to the club\u2019s magazine stands.
