MBM Just arrived

[Richard Shead]

The question was

Richard,
That's no excuse as far as the readers are concerned. What does it mean!
It's a difficult time, but good to know that the staff are listening.

Why we cant match the way the USA distributes magazines, not about the content of MBM.

The USA deals on volume as its somewhat bigger than the UK, their subscription model is very different.

Having just returned from a US show and exhibiting next to 3 US magazines, let me tell you they struggle to shift mags at 10$ for three years! In fact we shifted twice as many subscriptions as they did for 60$ for one year but thats a different argument as it was a sailboat show.

I am not getting into a debate about the content of MBM, I will leave that to editorial, but as already been said the main reason for a somewhat thinner issue is mainly due to the downtown in ad revenue.

Meetings now, cheers

Thanks richard.

I'll wade in with a positive.

I really enjoyed the articel on spannering legs. I read that in the bath two nights ago with a growing grin on my face and equally growing sense of gratitude to the hard working MBM staff to whom I collectively award a virtual drink. Each.

They re-inforced and confirmed all my views on outdrives, with photographic proof

Not read much of the rest as yet as SWMBO has got it somewhere to read atm, for all I know its on a shelf in the Naval Library at the Dockyard.
