The Backroader is BACK!

[kim]

The long time magazine published by the 4WDABC is back in an all new, all colour format.

A wheelin' magazine focused on BC alone.

Four Wheel Drive Association of BC - It's Alive!!!!

Become a member and get two issues per year on top of the rest of the swag.

So we don't get one token club copy?

 

[kim]

But of course you do, Deny!

We will be sending one to every club delegate, which I assume is you. If it isn't, let me know.

 

[Deny]

Sweet, we will huddle around the lantern and all read it together at the next meeting, hoping to make out the photos as we read through it by the flickering light.

 

[kim]

I'm sure a couple of your members can spring for 20 bucks.

Ha, Ha, we are known as the cheap bunch for a reason. Jim cleans his teeth every second day just to save tooth paste!

Gross is the word I'd use.

 

[Deny]

I recieved the backroader. Charla there was a copy for you, are you in the office tommorow, Do you want me to drop off or do you want to pick it up at my office?

 

[Ratpuke]

I'm in the office tomorrow. Drop by or I can walk down the street. Whatever works.

 

[Ratpuke]

THANKS!! Very pretty.

Sweet Kim,

So is the 4WDABC going to be posting them on the net every time, just this once for promotion, or everytime but holding off till new copies are out?
Cheers,
Deny

We intend to post them online after a reasonable time that won't impact sales of the printed mag. This is all kind of new territory so I can't give you firm dates.

By Monday we'll be able to get our grubby little hands on the 2nd issue and fire that off to people as well, there's a nice little story in it from Deny
Even though I've posted this in other places I'll repeat it here as well:
We are also looking for a couple things:
More stories and photos for the next issues, send me your stuff! If you're unsure of what but think you have an idea, are an aspiring writer or photographer, let me know.

We are also going to be looking for distribution of the magazine and need some help from our members and volunteers. We need people to approach businesses that might be interested in selling our magazine and starting up distribution to the public. This is not limited to the lower mainland by any means and we would like to see it go into other parts of BC as well.
Let Kim or me know if you can help.
Thanks!

 

[Fantom]

don't everyone volunteer all at once, my mailbox is overflowing...........sarcasm
Come on, there's got to be someone up North willing to help out and get some distribution out in those parts.

 

[Deny]

well once i get some time i will stop by the local 4x4 shop and see. no promises though.

 

[Fantom]

Thanks Deny. We're having a get together very soon to get all the magazines and member stuff into envelops to get that out to you guys.

Hi Matt and Kim,

I ran into the guy that manages the local 4x4 shop at subway today and he said he would have no problem having a spot on his counter for the 4WDABC display, whether to sell the mag or other stuff too. I told him I would go down there and talk to him, maybe give him my old issue of the backroader to have as reading material for people waiting. I don't know how much they will actually sell, but it will definately put the word out about the association.
Cheers,
Deny

 

[kim]

Awesome!

How many should I mail to you? Do I have your current address?

We sure appreciate the help, Deny!
