Thanks as always Martin for putting CC together.

Targeted marketing with this post

 

[Martin Mumby]

Thanks very much Roger!

Hardly anybody ever comments about Catch Cult on BFW, I'd love to know why

 

[Mark Nicholls]

It's a great magazine Martin with so many interesting articles. Very well put together, I really enjoy it. Good job

 

[Martin Mumby]

Thanks Mark, really appreciated and glad you enjoy the read!

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.

[Martin Mumby]

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)

 

[Martin Mumby]

Thanks Alan.

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

 

[Alan Palmer]

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?

 

[David Clewer]

Surely, the plastic envelope can be recycled along with plastic bags etc in most supermarkets?


Dave

 

[Martin Mumby]

Yes they can Dave. I think Alan should move house so he has one of those supermarkets close by

 

[Martin Mumby]

I have to say it does make me wonder sometimes....

This thread has had 702 views yet a thread on Back rod rests has had 1,000 views!

The mind boggles

 

[Nick Coulthurst]

I have the full collection Martin, so obviously very pleased with it. Many thanks for all your efforts.

 

[Martin Mumby]

Thank you Nick, I do really appreciate it!!

Just packed your magazine to go in the post tomorrow

 

[Steve Kenchington]

Hi Martin, do they all go in the post at the same time or do you stagger dispatch ?

 

[Martin Mumby]

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.

 

[Steve Kenchington]

Thanks for the reply Martin. I look forward to receiving mine.
All the best Steve.

 

[Darren Smith 2]

Just placed my first order. Looking forward to reading it.

 

[Martin Mumby]

Thanks Darren!
Just enveloped it up and will be in the post later.
Hope you enjoy the magazine
