MPH is the mortar that holds the Club together; with Members scattered across the world, MPH may be a Member’s only regular contact with the rest of the Club. Under the rules, the Club will publish a monthly journal, MPH, to all Members. The Hon. Editor is responsible for compiling, publishing and distributing MPH, but may seek assistance in this task, from volunteers or commercially.
The production of MPH is the Club’s biggest single annual cost, and consumes around 80 per cent of the annual subscription income. The Hon. Editor will prepare budgets in a timely fashion to allow subscription rates to be fixed, and will then be responsible for keeping costs within those budgets.
The Hon. Editor will have discretion to edit or reject any material submitted for publication in MPH. The Editor is also responsible for what material from MPH, if any, will be displayed on the Club’s website and forum. Advertisements placed in MPH are handled by the Advertisement Manager, who is an assistant to the Hon. Editor, but who also has a responsibility to the Hon. Treasurer for all income and the accounting thereof.
Some Hon. Editors served for just a few months, whilst the late, great @John Webber (an Honorary Member) produced our newsletter for over 25 years. MPH is such a fundamental and important part of how the Club operates, the following list honours those Members who have served in this capacity.
