Goodness.

Not us, nor endorsed by us.

Print Media is dead in the age of the internet, not sure why these things keep cropping up, just kills trees.

If anyone is involved with this magazine reads this we'd appreciate an 'in' put between the Geocaching and Australia to avoid any confusion ........

Preorder 20 issues? Seems optimistic.
A change of their name would be good as they're not associated with Geocaching Australia.

I've contacted them.

[EDIT: our concerns are around the use of the name for a for-profit venture]

The publisher has been contacted and has kindly agreed to modify the title of the publication to remove any confusion.

Maybe they could change the name to "Australian Geocaching Magazine" to avoid any confusion.

I see they have a very small IN above Geocaching Australia, not very obvious. When I first came across this I immediately thought of this site.

As mentioned, it's all sorted.
We are happy with the 'in'. The change was made VERY close to press time.
We wish the publisher all the best with the venture, we just didn't want confusion.

They wrote a bit over at INATN stating what they hope to achieve with the mag: (Great blog btw)

Subscription price includes postage....cost shown for one mag doesnt (add $4.50) - it is cheaper to subscribe.

Cheers
