Any volunteers for the project? Everyone's a potential writer but it would need a little crew to sort it out. Got to work out a democratic ding dong etc. I'd volunteer but it would seem necky and I'm a total lunch out.

Game fishing people whinge constantly about the quality of mags available and there's a whole heap of them - one thing that is always spoken of in hushed tones with the utmost respect is "Waterlog" I believe it is because it sort of concentrates on proper stories. Everyone loves it when a catch report is not just a location and a number of fish caught. That's what our thing could do IMO. plus all the other stuff

I'd put my name and weight (11 stone) to it Ell.

Good lad - over to you. I'm off for few ritz crackers then on to bed - got to see me Nana tomorrow, she's had the flu recently and it's made her madder.

right if you want a (surprisingly) serious answer.. to break anywhere like even and get the printing costs back, you'll need about 1000 subscribers willing to pay around 2 quid each, (printing any less would cost virtually the same) or derivatives thereof(500 @ £4), that give you something nice and shiny and colourful running to between 24 and 36 pages

some of those costs are traditionally met by advertising (anyone want to sell ads??) most main stream publications run on a percentage split of 60/40 ads versus editorial (either way!) the more ads you can sell, the more pages you can fill with editorial the less you can charge

Editorial is the easy bit

Cut my teeth on the 'boards' laying out/editing small run mags many years ago, be canny to give it a go.

Taught Felix Dennis (and Richard Neville - obviously frightened him though as he went back to Orstralia immediately after and had never returned (or paid his invoices)) everything they know about publishing layout. I think it only fair to point out that felix dennis no longer speaks to me either as I was a:sick in his maserati and b: owe him £7000 (got really good excuses for both neither are publishable however)

The world needs another Oz/International Times albeit with a potentially fishy hint

bring it on

Sorry Mark,
Wasn't thinking of an actual magazine, just a magaziney type feature on the board.

Must pay more attention in class
