And I would just like to say that the club absolutely zarking rocks, and
I've enjoyed my copy of the magazine already. :-)

The film stank. I hope the magazine won't be taken over by the film to the
expense of the wonderful new radio series(es).

The ZZ9 magazine reflects what members write to put in it. The
contents of the last few issues are listed at http://www.zz9.org/mh
Things like the Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture and the Steve Meretzky
and Michael Bywater In Conversation event were covered in the last
issue. I think I forgot to mention the Last Chance to See Update in
the current issue.
We recently published a long interview with Dirk Maggs spread over four
issues. We aim to get the background stories that you do not
necessarily find in other publications.

Only so much you can write about the film, unless you're really determined
to put your viewpoint across, e.g. MJ Simpson.
Otherwise "it sucked" covers it.

That sounds excellent. I've been tempted to join many a time. Societies I
join tend to fold shortly after, so I possibly won't - in order to not jinx
you!

ZZ9 is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with a party at the
AGM in November. I expect it will be around for a fair few more years
to come, so don't worry on that account. If you join you can get back
issues of the club magazine with those interviews in.
