Smile Britain at War Magazine will continue!

Some of you may know that I'm a great fan of a new(ish) magazine called Britain at War. Though only a year old they have published some excellent articles, and the team are very friendly and approachable.

I've had contact with Martin, the Editor, on a number of occassions (and even had a couple of letters published ), and I've just heard back from him about the rumours that the magazine may be ceasing publication. His response (which he says I could publicise):

Quote:
Thank you very much indeed for your email and kind comments regarding the magazine. Please excuse a rather generic email, but needless to say, there has been discussion and many developments over the last few days. As a result, I am very pleased to inform you that Green Arbor Publishing Ltd. now has a change of ownership. As a result Britain at War Magazine will continue to be published. Please do spread the word!

The appointment of Andrew Todd to the role of Managing Director, with his extensive experience of publishing and marketing, will bring vital benefits to Britain at War magazine, providing financial stability and ensuring its ongoing development.I am delighted to say that the editorial staff will remain unchanged, ensuring that the content and format will be unaltered, continuing to provide you with the fascinating read that you have come to expect.

In line with Andrew’s appointment we have introduced an alteration to Britain at War’s on sale date. Until now, the magazine had gone on sale on the 11th of each month. From the May issue (Number 13), the on sale date will be the last Friday of each month. Please note that this is a permanent change.

Please accept the apologies of everyone on the team for any uncertainty or inconvenience that has occurred over the last few days. As ever, we truly appreciate your past, and continued, support of Britain at War.

Regards,

Martin
Good luck to the team, and I look forward to the next issue:

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Good to hear they are able to keep going. A quality magazine deserves every chance it can get to succeed.

I'm glad to hear this, but I have to say it is still very difficult to find in the shops, even when I look on 11th of the month or just after. This certainly applies to WHSmiths. Perhaps the new owners should look at their distribution methods, and widen the number of outlets.

I think that was a problem with the distributers and the shops. My local Borders stopped stocking it before Christmas. When I asked (thinking it just hadn't arrived yet) the assistant phoned the Borders distribution centre and was told that they had just decided not to sell it anymore. No reason, no explanation. Took a lot of persuading for them to stock it again and even then it only restarted last month.

So hopefully now that the magazine has new owners, they will get that problem sorted.

That's a quality looking mag. Pity I already subscribe to three others and am behind with my reading of them!

Might look for it in the newsagent's.
