The Hertford Mag
Another new magazine is being promoted in Hertford called 'The Hertford Mag'
I trust it's not produced by the creators of Gloss Magazine. Early indications are not favourable, though.
The inside rear cover of the advertising card shows images of Hertford. However, the bottom right-hand image shows a beautiful fountain surrounded by landscaping and large offices - though not, sadly, Hertford.
Any suggestions as to where it actually is, please, on a postcard to....

This is "A local magazine for local people" - sounds vaguely familiar; not run by Tubbs and Edward is it - I think they covet the treasures of the town!!

It's run by the same guy that runs the comedy nights at The Corn Exchange.

The website is registered to the same fella who is/was director of The Gag Club Ltd now 'Blue Dog Comedy'

They bought a copy into the barge, for a small fee, blah blah, picture of your pub in our publication blah blah. When we leafed through it there were already 2 pictures of the barge in it.
Did't reach for the chequebook, needless to say.[;)]

So, The Hertford Mag has competition it seems
I've just had an eight page A5 leaflet through the door entitled "The Hertford Chronicle" (August/September 2010).
On page 3 ,editor Russell Perrett says: As the first edition of the Hertford Chronicle is released I am very excited. This is the first time to my knowledge that such a magazine has been produced and delivered to Hertford alone. We really try to make this magazine as much of an enjoyable read as possible, so if there is something you would like to see in the next Hertford Chronicle edition please let us know. As for the size we hope to produce a much bigger edition next time with more article to excite our readers

So someone actually set up a web site and thought that black text on a bergundy or dark grey coloured background looks good?. I could hardly read a word so gave up.

Gloss Magazine, Hertford Mag, Hertford Chronicle?
Each with a ubiquitous photo of The Barge and Hertford Lock, taken either in Autumn or early Spring.
I'm beginning to wonder if there is a GCSE in Media Studies now included in the curriculum of a local school, which requires a "Design a local magazine" project.

You are certainly right about the colour scheme Leo.
Whoever designed the web site seems to have lost sight of the basic premise that you should be able to read the content!
I also gave up trying to read it.

Fantastic!
OMG [:0]
I can't beleive that someone would put something online without even checking it.
I've tried it in IE, Firefox and Chrome and they're all the same.

I bet the advertiser who is on the right hand side is happy!
