NOTIFICATION TO READERS & ADVERTISERS:

As the publisher of Scrum magazine, I have had to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the Fall 2009 issue. I have made a significant personal investment in the magazine to keep in running over this past year but I am not able to contribute out of pocket this time around. I understand the economy is tough right now and advertising dollars can be hard to come by, but since we distribute to the vast majority of our readers free of charge, we rely completely on advertising-generated revenue to cover the basic costs of printing and mailing. Scrum depends on a fantastic team of volunteers and it is because of their generosity that overhead costs are absolutely minimal, but, as with any venture, there are bills that need to be paid.

The support for the magazine by the rugby community has been wonderful and it’s my pleasure to provide this publication to such a thriving market, so I do need to stress that Scrum is NOT shutting down. Rather we are going to take this time to regroup and continue to publish on schedule in 2010, hopefully bigger and better than before.

Anyone who has paid for a subscription will still get the four issues they paid for. The circulation team will be updating our distribution list to make sure you receive a total of four issues. Also, we are going to continue to publish the “Scrum e-News” as scheduled. This will provide our readers with news and information from the rugby community, as well as keep you up-to-date on the status of the magazine. If you would like to receive our monthly e-newsletter, please sign up on the website or send an email to newsletter@scrummag.com. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at editor@scrummag.com. Thank-you so much for your support and we’ll see everyone in 2010!

Cheers,
Elaine Wiltshire
