Happy New Year!
Do not forget to get your 2009 Calendar from the download column to the left.
Getting the new year
off to a flying start, please welcome Zulkifli Dato' Omar and
Y 1041 to Ys on Parade, and adds yet another new
country to the world-wide fellowship of Ys with Malaysia!

Collectibles page.
If you have been
enjoying the Reprinted Articles series, a
new series begins this month. Titled as SNIPPETS, this covers short items
such as pictures of articles slightly off the mainstream of full-blown
Reprinted Articles. This will be added
to on an "as and when" basis as material becomes available and can be
accessed at any time from the Reprints and Collectibles item on the main
navigation panel. Fans of
Reprinted Articles though need not worry, I
am only currently about half way through my library stock of items, so release
of Reprinted Articles will continue on a
bi-monthly basis for the foreseeable future!
The first
Reprinted Article of 2009 continues with the second of two articles from
Safety Fast, June 1997, with an article by David Hague on 'Veneering or "Ironing
away" with a smoothing Dash'.
A new
Hint and Tip has been added for setting the correct
depth gap when installing new seat bolts, (or even reinstalling old ones).
A new
Picture of the Month has also been added.
Do not forget to send
in details of Y Type Events for the 2009 Events
calendar too.
