## New format for Eiks an Ens
Auld freinds will mind that _Eiks an Ens_ haes formerlie been a leiterar magazine

the opportunitie _Eiks_ affuirdit tae jeel our communitie thegether.
Sae this is the first issue o _Eiks_ tae tak a new format, whaur we’ll be
ettlin tae skair current affairs i the warld o Scots leid and leitratur,
especially whaur it effeirs directly til our membership.
