Slot Car Magazine - July 2019 Issue 50

It’s inevitable, I suppose, that parallels are already being drawn between our 50th issue and the 50th anniversary of the first landing on the Moon. Indeed, many people questioned whether the Moon landings were of any value at all. They did that with our magazine as well, but at least NASA had the good sense to stop in 1972. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins went down in history. Abbott and Woods almost certainly won’t, but we all had a lot of clever people working away to help us get the glory. (This is actually making a bit more sense than I thought it would. Wonders never cease.) The contributors make this magazine. It wouldn’t have got off the ground without them. We will never forget that. A special mention must go to Andy Player, who has been with us since issue number one. I’ve never asked, but I wonder if he thought it would only last a couple of months as well? Also to John Dilworth, who has been baffling the world of slots since issue two. Thank you so much.
