dear editor
i asked my newsagent to ring NDD to order in some copies of the mag about 3 weeks ago. i went in today to get it and she said NDD hav never heard of the magazine. they checked all their databases and everything and hav no listing for it. they searched all vw magazines and other distributors vw magazines, they said it did not exist. i got them to call ndd again in front of me today and she confirmed it still isnt listed.
wat could be the problem and how can u help? do u know wat newcastle newsagents recieved the magazine?
thanks
sam

Hi Sam,

Bit of a mystery.

It is distributed by NDD and it is on the shelves. I have personally checked three newsagents that I requested NDD to deliver to today. There's copies on the shelf.

Newcastle was also included in the custom list, with some specific newsagent locations.

I'll call my NDD agent today and get some more answers for you.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

just got my copy from my local newsagent , I had asked him for it a couple of weeks ago and it arrived today.
Congrats on the issue, very good.
Also saw about 6 copies in another local shopping center today.

Can we have it every 2 months instead of every 3.

Cheers
Dave

I dont know if my copy is still going to arrive at my local newsagant it wasnt there after checking everyday for the last few so I bought a copy in Melbourne when I was there yesterday, could wait no longer

Hi Dave,

The question of bi-monthly or quarterly was one which I had to consider before launching the mag.

As you by now know, this magazine is pretty much a one man show, and as such, is a careful juggle between producing each issue and maintaining my sanity.

I want the magazine in the first twelve months to develop into the best package I can deliver. To do this a quarterly format was chosen. Next year I can review this position.

Until then, read each issue slowly so that it lasts till the next one.

Cheers

Got my copy today
excellent first issue. Congrats on it.
Hey sam
The newsagent in the Warratah village has it. only a couple of copies left though

not a compliant, but more a suggestion, there needs to be more early model kombi's, they rock.:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer

Got mine in Nowra today, they only had 2 copies, so I bought both.

It's been a long wait, but well worth it, fantastic and a good spread of different cars.

Waiting for the next one!!!

Sam,

You can also try Shop 8 Market Town Shopping Centre, Cnr King and National Park Streets, Newcastle. Ph: 02 4929 2871. I'm not sure whether this is close, but there are copies there.

And a '62 Kombi is planned for Issue#2. Should be as good as Zsolt's.

got my copy last night from the newsagents at charlestown square (across from collins bookstore). looks good! great list of advertisers too!

Are any coming over to the west??

... as in Perth, Western Australia ... the other coast

Birchalls in Launceston rang on Wed to inform me the mag was in. They only were issued 4 copies( I bought 3) so are getting another 6 in next week.volma1

Our newsagents up here said they will ring if they get any copies. They will not order the magazine.To date none of them have heard of the mag!!! Not impressed with that!!! Does anyone have a subscription form:jesus they could spare or better still a magazine I could buy off them????If so drop me a line.

I got mine at dudz...but I did see it last night at "runaway bay" newsagents
very good read and hope it all goes well for you people at the mag:thumb
already go some rims from the business directory:beer

I got my issue in the local agents at Peakhurst no problems except i had already read it cover to cover from an Advance copy Craig had sent me.

Hi Guys,

I am visiting both SA and WA in March. I physically ran out of time last issue to get there. I had spoken to the businesses in both states about this and they were fine with it. They understood the constraints involved.

There will be a cool Karmann from WA and a couple of cars from SA. I'm looking forward to visiting both states.

Cheers

ps You will have noticed a slight name change to VWMA. There will be an official post next week regarding this change. Suffice to say for the moment, it was not my choice to do so, but things have a way of working out for the better. I'll fill you in shortly.

I picked up My copy from the Scone Newsagents today... great work and the quality of the paper is tops.
Congratulations Craig. I hope it continues to be published. One thing I am NOT interested in though is late model VWs..
Air Cooled only.... although I see that VW had the back cover advertising, so that must have helped with the publication costs. So I suppose I will just have to put up with the water cooled VWs, I just won't read them... Better to have One VW magazine than none!!!

Hey volma1,
Mowbray newsagency still had 3 or 4 copies left on thursday, when I picked up a copy.

Good to see an australian mag up and running again.
