It gets later and later, not be long and it will be a month late. Why is it other car club magazines are on time or even early?

Probably because other car club magazines are smaller, less frequent and produced either by paid full time staff or retired people with loads of time on their hands and with the support of a factory/manufacturer.

We rely on submissions from members and businesses to fill the magazine and after a struggle to get content at the end of last year we've found it difficult to catch up as the magazine takes about a month to put together.

That said the magazines still appear roughly a month apart.

So as always if you have something of interest then send it to me or Mandy at the email addresses in the magazine.

Exactly you see people dripping about this every month, If people feel that way they should get more involved in the club and help the "Volunteers" out. I don't have the time to commit and being north of the Border is not practical But i don't Drip about it smile

It arrived this morning in the post... And although my first thought was the same i.e.:"why does it arrive this late?" I have to admit that every month the sheer quality of the magazine amazes me. I know that it's mostly volunteers and that's what makes it so nice...

Can't wait to get home to see if mine's arrived. Totally agree you can't fault the quality of the Sprint magazine - it's worth waiting for every month imo. biggrin

It is a huge compliment though that people do notice when it hasn't arrived as early as before.

It's a great publication when you consider many are not monthly, don't have the same print quality, have far more members and have company support.
