NO.

I don't much like Skeeter's new nickname for Jason but if she wants to talk pink, I'll give her a reason.

Ask for the Skeeter Special at Abercrombie & King to receive 15% off all pink Quidditch accessories.

You may have seen this around in the Prophet or Seeker Weekly but I thought it worth sharing in journals with the Neep starting at the end of March.

This year marks the 400th Anniversary of The Golden Neep, Scotland's great quidditch rivalry, and in honour of it there will be a Quidditch Through the Ages companion book released for the occasion by Whizz Hard Books. More information about release parties to come but preorders are open!

I know I usually save updates for our usual breakfast meeting at the Castle but things have been busy and bleeding into the weekends so I thought an early update wouldn't go amiss:

- Samples copies look great with only minor changes needed
- The final draft will be at the printers this week, various small issues have come up and been dealt with in this final lap
- Advertising department has been on top of buying up ad space until past the release date
- There are some arguments discussions in the meetings over where would be the ideal place to host the official release party

The two camps currently are:

1. Two parties simultaneously in Montrose and Portree. (With a contingent who are advocating for a dedicated floo connection between them so it’s a cross-city party)
2. Neutral city, neither Montrose nor Portree area. (There was a long talk about the merits of Wigtown or would it be rubbing salt into the wound of them being the Scottish team uninvolved.)

Somewhat related but, the release isn’t timed ideally for the Scottish Office campaign, is there anything we can do or help with on that front?
