fallliner, I've tried creating a direct debit subscription on your website, but it's telling me I'm creating one for Document Snowboard. And I can't be doing with that... Any advice?

The subs site should have been sorted today. Our tame geek has been thrashed.
I sincerely hope people are putting up their views of the skis - the best review gets a trip out the next year's test. Oh, I already said that.

I wasn't able to find it last week either. Finally got a copy (with some nice freebies  ) at the excellent MK Xscape Snozone Snow Show happening this weekend. Amazed not a lot of people there - well worth turning up!!!

^ bit far from Bristol and I've heard so many negatives about MK that I gave it a miss - they only have themselves to blame!
Will be going to the London one anyway 'coz I've got free tickets.

I'll add to slikedges, post re the Milton Keynes show/test day - it was very well supported by the manufacturers/importers and poorly attended. This equals lots of kit to try and few people on the slopes. Did people not know about it?
It's still on today if anyone wants to head down.

fallliner, I subscribed on the 28th Aug, should I get this issue or was I a bit too late?
Your Susan Williams was very helpful as was whoever phoned me to confirm the overseas postage charge, however I received the following:-
"Good Afternoon.
Thank you for your email. Unfortunately you will not be able to do a
direct debit living outside the UK, unless you have an English bank
account.
Regards
Hannah"
And my reply for which I feel slightly embarassed (only slightly)
"Hi Hannah
I have already spoken to someone who kindly phoned me from your office and confirmed that all was in order.
I was not made aware that you needed an English bank account, regrettably mine is Scottish.
I didn't know Fall-line was so racist. Please get your act together."
Did Hannah get her way?
Edit, I've just checked my a/c and nothing has gone out, looks like she did

I heard about the event here and presumably they publicised it in the local area?
As I said above I decided to give it a miss because I've heard so many negatives here about MK, that sort of thing does make a difference. I go to Tamworth every few months and know it reasonably well and it's around the same distance, I've never given MK a go because I've been put off. If there was an event like this at Tamwoth I'd be straight up there and first in the queue, MK I don't know and probably never will.
Perhaps one of the reasons for it being so quiet is that this kind of event needs committed people to come along and many of the more committed have already been put off by MKs reputation and/or their experience of it.
I think I'm committed enough to make the effort (blimey, I'll be giving Chill Factore a go in November so must be!) but I'm not risking it for a place with the rep MK has.

roga, sH requires careful reading between the lines. MK at its best is incomparably better than Tamworth could ever be. No indoor slope is consistently good, but MK is more often good than bad.

well, i spent most of the day at MK today, poorly attended is not the word, by 3pm all the suppliers who had been kicked out on the slope [other than a couple!!] packed up and went home, everyone stood around on the slope freezing their bits off to hand out an average to 5 pairs of skis each
in short the suppliers did their bit, the shop [EB] tried their best the slope suposedly advertied it??? but people just didn't show up. i heard stories of people deciding not to come because it was on and they thought it would be far too busy, speaking to the regulars who run the race training on a normal sunday, it was 60-70% quieter than it has been for the past 3-4 weeks ???

CEM, interesting.
From the 1 bit of official info on it I could find they made it sound like it would be absolutely heaving and that pre-booking a slot for slopetime was compulsory. That alone would be enough to put most people off.

Shame for the Manufacturers who put the effort in, but I certainly won't be hurrying back to MK after recent experiences. Maybe people are starting to vote about MK with their feet.

Good times to give it a miss are weekends at the height of ski season and mostly anytime during school holidays.

Timmaah, I'll pass that on to the distributors. WHS is normally a safe bet but we are now starting to feed into uni newsagents so thanks for letting me know it isn't there. You can order it from any newsagent if you want to reserve a copy.
Dypcdiver, the anti-Scot racism has rather excellently been imposed upon us as an auto-emailer (which Hannah has nothing to do with) by our subscription people, who are headed up by a Scot! Mind you, much merriment at this end when you revealed that...
28 Aug probably missed the first issue. If you want it contact the office and we'll get out a back issue to you (at the normal price rather than the added p&p one. Same goes for any other subscribers who didn't get their first issue. We allow 4 weeks turnaround - who said delivery by inland waterways is dead...

Myself & my other half got there at about 2.30pm on Sunday & had pre-booked slope time from 3pm til 6pm.
Had a quick chat with the guys from Line Skis (unfortunately they didn't have any demo skis) 
Salomon & Rossignol were the only companies left at 3pm with demo skis ( Salomon left at 5pm).
We were also both looking forward to a lesson with New Generation at 4.30pm as advertised ,but this failed to happen.
I can understand the suppliers not wanting to hang around on the slope if there was no one around,but the event was advertised to run until 6pm on Sunday & for most of the suppliers to leave before 3pm was very disappointing.
Would this happen at Olympia or the NEC if it was a bit quiet on the last day of a show?

Ahh finished the mag, good read. Only suggestion I would have would be to include a poster that readers can take out perhaps? I find myself ripping out pages of awesome photographs at the moment 
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let me know which awesome photos and by the magic of pm/email I shall send you hi-res pdfs so you can print your own. Just the pdfs of the pages, mind - the snappers get a bit wary otherwise...
Would folk be interested in having some hi-res stuff on the site to download?
