For what it's worth my copy of MEW 299 arrived yesterday, this is one of the few problems with living in Australia!!

cheers

Bill

Good. I'm looking forward to receiving 299. Always seems to arrive about the week of the following edition hitting UK letterboxes.

Still waiting for mew 300 but me4655 turned up two days ago..

Hoorah! Postie just delivered my copy (+"Computeractive" + Dominoes pizza leaflet)

Nor me. If I wanted to read articles about rebuilding cars, I would buy 'Practical Classics' or something like that.

As the magazine title is 'Model Engineers' Workshop', I would prefer to read articles more linked to model engineers' workshops

Yet I looked at the picture of the car raised on farm jacks bolted to hub adapters, and wondered why I hadn't thought of doing that.

The important part of the MEW title is workshop, not Model Engineer. If the magazine hadn't grown out of Model Engineer, it would have had a far more appropriate title. Something like Workshop Tools & Techniques

Mine arrived today and I was pleased to see that an article I submitted some time ago-Installing a Magnetic DRO System to a Mini-Lathe, has been printed in it. In my explanation of why I had used components from EMS-I and M-DRO, I have stated that the EMS-I reader head is about 25% smaller than the M-DRO reader head, therefore making it suitable to fit on the Cross slide. This was correct at time of writing, but It is worth mentioning to anyone interested,that, in the same issue, M-DRO are advertising their Reader Heads and they now have one listed as EHM Series Mini Head, which is the same size as that I used from EMS-I

My 300 arrived on the 8th too - SHMBO got it out the post and just laid it on the side and never told me, was there two days before I found it - you just can't get staff these days

MAY be but what will it cost to sack current staff member ?

Beth recently returned after an extended break, I know she's being doing a lot of catching up. Perhaps you had best send her a reminder?

Actually subscriptions have been the saviour of most magazines, its those who rely on mostly news stand sales that have been hit the hardest across the industry. Losing all our overseas distribution was a blow, but fortunately it did get sorted.

I think we have lost about seven titles, although Model Boats was resurrected after a few month's break.

Advertising has recovered somewhat, the problem was not that people weren't buying model engineering goods, it was that they were cleaning out the suppliers who couldn't restock fast enough due to (ongoing, but improving) delays in receiving stock from overseas.

Subs renewals are what will keep the magazines going.

Frances I did post on the 6th Dec and say that from the info that I can access your subs will run out with issue 303

"Frances your subs look to be showing 303 as last one so should be no worries there but I only have limited access to what is a hard page to decipher subscriptions page."

Probably could have told you that earlier but your reluctance to give away much in the way of detail made it impossible to look you up earlier.

You don't have your subs number entered in your details on this site, I only picked it up from a post of yours and I need that number to look people up on the system.

300 only came through the door this morning here in Dorset so I think we probably need to understand that the Post are having difficulties at the moment.

Stay well,

Rod

Hi All,

my first post, I have been reading the forum for quite awhile now. I finally moved to subscribing to MEW as the news agent which I have been buying the magazine for over twenty years now does not receive the magazine. So lets see how I go. Covid motivation .

Thank you for the effort that members go too to post their hard work.
