Currently -2024/2025- I am the DLOC club registrar for the DS420. In that role I regularly submit a "Registrar Jottings" article, between 1/2 and 2 pages, for publication in the DM. If our editor has sufficient other DS420 coverage available my contribution will move on to the next month, but bi-monthly DS420 coverage will be guaranteed at least until the end of the year. In January 2026 I will add all 2025 "Registrar Jottings" contributions to this webpage.
