It's a great magazine Martin with so many interesting articles. Very well put together, I really enjoy it. Good job 👍
 
Been reading CC since the first issue. The quality of the articles and the range of content has remained high throughout although there is a seasonal tendency with predator items in the winter months and barbel, tench etc in the warmer weather but that is understandable in a bimonthly mag. My only slight gripe is with the proof reading (perfectionist that I tend to be😏) but that is only a minor issue and is just down to me being fussy! Overall, an excellent read and well worth the price.😊

Yes you have Dave and your support is not taken for granted!

Believe me, getting and selecting material is very tricky. I do try and take the seasons into account and some may say there are too many pike articles during winter. I understand that but in my experience the pike anglers respond better than most other specialists.

I also take your point about proof reading. A few years ago each article went thorough 3 or 4 editing stages but I have to be honest and admit that is not the case now. The reason being that some think there is a 'team' behind CC in an office, but it is just me in my bedroom in my spare time. I don't say that as an excuse but for various reasons it gets harder as time goes on.

All constructive comment is always welcome and as I have stated many times 'You can't please all the people all of the time'

Cheers, Martin
 
I’ve also subscribed since the start….superb mag with a wide range of articles. I can only imagine the work behind the scenes to get it published 👏
My only gripe which I’ve mentioned before was when the paper based mailing sleeve was replaced by a non recyclable one (at least in my area)

Thanks Alan.

I thought we'd discussed the envelope at length ages ago as when I chose it I made sure it was recyclable?

It might be in some areas but not mine unfortunately, the benefit of paper/card covering is it’s universally recyclable. As I say only a small gripe but one that maybe could also affect others?
 
Morning Steve,

The initial batch of pre-orders go to the mailing house which was on Monday, usually over 400 magazines.

The post varies a lot and some take a few days and others take over a week.

All orders after that are posted by me as they come in.

It is the most stressful part of it for me as I have NO CONTROL over our postal system whatsoever

which is why I always thank people in advance for their patience.

There is always the odd casualty but 99% of magazines make it through in the end.
