Agree with the comments by Chris H and agree with Joe McCleery's observations. One thing we might do to increase the pool of reviewers is to encourage\tutor more early stage reviewers who are attached to academic centres. Would it be worth JIDR\JARID running a joint 'introduction to reviewing session' at Seattle Club and\or this year's BPS\DCP (Dougal?)? With local mentoring this might help. I'm sure this happens anyway but the journals could facilitate this.
