It is June 2011 and I am extremely pleased to be able to announce that - as you read this - all the members of the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2011 will have received their CDs (and associated information) and will now be able to take advantage of - what I sincerely believe to be - some of the best music that we have ever produced (and there are a total of nineteen pieces of music, that's five more than we originally offered…)!

With these thoughts in mind I am very pleased to be able to announce that our next objective will be (probably quite predictably…): Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 (Year Two).

Here is the plan for the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 (Year Two):

• 1) The existing (2011) members of the Sting Productions Ambassador Club are currently involved in the process of selecting the tunes for the (Year Two) production - if you are a member, you get to play a very important role in the next year's music selection; we want to keep our members happy and want to be as sure as we can that we are recording the music that the best Callers want! The original versions of these tunes will soon be listed (with YouTube links) on a new page entitled "List of 2012 Tunes" that you will be able to access from the AMBASSADOR Drop-Down menu.
  
• 2) Our existing members have been invited to join the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 and - until the end of June the (Year Two) membership is only open to those people; they have the first option to join.
  
• 3) The second option to join the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 will be given to those who are on the "Waiting List"; you can join the waiting list by using the Application Form, accessible from the AMBASSADOR Drop-Down menu. Although this is the 2011 Application Form, we are still going to use it to allow Callers to join the "Waiting List".
  Those Callers who are on the "Waiting List" will be given any available places on the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 (Year Two), in the order that the application were received - "first-come, first-served". These Callers will be notified in early July and advised (either way) about their membership status.
  Don't forget - you can still join the "Waiting List" now - and be one of the Callers most likely to be in the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 (Year Two): don't delay, sign-up today!
  
• 4) If there are any places still available at the end of July, a new Application Form will be added to the web-site and the remaining places for the Sting Productions Ambassador Club 2012 (Year Two) will become available to all Callers, in general, with effect from 1st August 2011. In this situation we will "re-start" the "Membership Spaces Still Available" counter (on the home page) and use that to show how many spaces are still open for new members.

• 1) The list of 2012 tunes will appear on the AMBASSADOR Drop-Down menu, as soon as the final details have been confirmed, so keep an eye out for this. As before, we will start with a list of ten titles and add to those as the other tune titles are selected.
  
• 2) As soon as the 2011 CDs have been received by the Ambassador Club members, a sample of the vocal, for each of this year's Singing Calls, will be attached to the list of titles already shown on the Future Releases page (accessed via the RECORDS Drop-Down menu) so that those of you who have decided to wait for the regular releases can find out what is "on the way"!
  
• 3) For a while we shall maintain the List of 2011 Tunes page (accessed from the AMBASSADOR Drop-Down menu) so you can compare the original version with our Square Dance versions; hopefully, this will give you an indication as to what you might expect from next year's recording session.

BEST SELLER LISTING (positions on the April 2011 listing)
No. 8 - I Wanna Be Like You - SIR 326

VINYL & MP3 RE-RELEASE - first time available on CD (MAY 2009):
We'll Sing In The Sunshine - SNW 102 - Vocal by Jack Borgström

SPECIAL NOTE: "We'll Sing In The Sunshine" has been subject to "limited availability" since January 2002, which is when we released the MP3 version; the Vinyl of this popular release had "sold out" a long time before. However, thanks to an unexpected "Stock Find", we are now able to make the Vinyl available and - to complete the picture - have added the CD version. This tune is now available (for the first time) in all three music media formats, which we felt was good enough to claim it as a "re-release"!

Okay, here we go again - another year of the Sting Productions Ambassador Club, just one problem… What do we do to improve on last year? Any suggestions??? More news next month…
