All good in theory, but it means someone going off and chasing companies, agreeing terms which are  viable to both sides and then maintaining the relationship and frankly I don't know anyone who has the time.

ype go commercial - even to improve printing...or why not go web based PDF files like suggested sometime ago tooooo for those who can access it and we can say we are "green" and thinking about the clubs carbon footprint.....has to be worth a PR plug?

Concur with the Wagster, PDF downloads are the way to go I want to incorporate this on the new website as a members only password proteced download.

Sounds good, but then it probably does if you aren't having to put it together every six weeks and do everything else as well.

it's not like I'm inundated with articles for it.

We have a local mag sent through the door which you can promote clubs. The Mag is from the Gazzette Group. Not sure if there is a stockton edition but our edition covers Redcar, Saltburn, New Marske, Marske and Normanby.

What do people think should the club advertise in there.
