When i read the thread title,     Club magazine walks,                     i thought someone had come up with the reason why my August edition of the magazine never arrived ?  And no i havent accidentely ticked the online only box (if there is one ?).

Already posted that the loss of Much Wenlock site is a great shame.

Probably prepared and published before the final decision was made. Its just unfortunate that the announcement was made within days of the magazine being distributed.

I writefor magaznes.Have a deadline of 7 weeksbefore publication for submissions and feature rticles are written 12 months in advance.ie If I write about the Olive htches on say Tal y Llyn for appearance in April 2016 Mag, I will have written the article in late May 2015.

Now I know who you are 

Don't worry I will keep it to myself 

i think we were chatting on here last year about the site closing and it was mentioned in reviews. Obviously the CC can't talk about things too much in advance but it's surprising this article went through, maybe the local CLs could have had a mention?

We learned of the sites at MW and BD under threat last year, and closure of both was debated on here at length, months ago. Spectacular own goal by the Club on this one! 

 

I would have thought that any magazine / newspaper, would keep a article in hand, to substitute in the event of a scheduled story being insensitive. Certainly promoting a site that has just been closed, could be considered as such. I am afraid it just speaks of the lack of awareness. Perhaps they could have substituted the latest results on the reliability survey.

It doesn't close until 16 th October, so weeks to go yet to get a walk in!

A bit unfortunate but I suspect the magazine staff and their contributers are not privy to the information that would have prevented publication.
