Despite letting January sneak up on me, and struggling to decide a cover image, I managed to get issue 11 printed and ready to hand out by the third Sunday of January.
Luckily, I had a brilliant cover article ready and waiting; one of our fantastic Seniors/Brigaders at Girls' Brigade had given me the article before Christmas. She'd written as part of her drive to promote 1st Leyton and I had been saving it for the cover article place it deserved.
I also recieved a very typical Church magazine piece in the second week of January; a tale of bumping into an old aquaintance at a Scouts event, and them sharing camping memories. The same person had sent me a forwarded email of amusing mistyped Church bulletins (such as "Worry sending you to an early grave? Let the Church help!"), which, when added in, got the page count up to a print amount.
As brilliant as the GB article is, it left me drawing a blank for a cover image. The previous GB article had coincided with the Remembrance Day Parade, so I had just asked a person who had taken photos of it if I could have one for the cover. Another stroke of luck for this last minute issue, I found an image of stained glass window showing the Girls' Brigade logo. Thankful for photographers who ask only to be credited, I went to print.
