Title: VolksWorld magazine sold, along with the show... Post by: Fastbrit on January 23, 2016, 12:17:39 pm Got news yesterday that VolksWorld magazine (and the show) have been sold to Kelsey Publishing, well-known acquirers of magazine titles, and best known for their range of tractor magazines!
End of an era as the magazine's been based in Croydon since I launched it with Link House Publications back in 1987. Where it goes from here remains to be seen, but judging from Kelsey's past acquisitions, there will be changes afoot for all involved. Let's hope the staff come out of it OK.

Paper quality has gone down... Title: Re: VolksWorld magazine sold, along with the show... Post by: Fastbrit on January 23, 2016, 23:42:09 pm I thought it recently changed to another publisher? Not VolksWorld. Ultra VW changed publishers a year ago.Paper quality has gone down... Title: Re: VolksWorld magazine sold, along with the show...

It's hard to imagine that there won't be some changes, if not this year,then next, as there will be a completely new company and a new team of organisers involved. But I'm sure they'll want to keep it at its current high standard and not start cutting costs. Maybe.Title: Re: VolksWorld magazine sold, along with the show...

Will it now be turned into a lifestyle fest? With vans aplenty... Title: Re: VolksWorld magazine sold, along with the show... Post by: Fastbrit on February 01, 2016, 23:14:10 pm I always thought the vowo team also ran the show? An exhibitions department with input from the staff. Even when I was in charge, a show like that was too much for editorial staff to run – what you see at a show in a venue like Sandown Park is a bit like watching a swan swimming...Will it now be turned into a lifestyle fest?
