OK Boss...qed tisimhu guys hux, mhux jien, is-seafox.

Seriously, It was our 1st attempt at producing a magazine, I say producing because some of you here contributed with excellent content articles, so the magazine is ours!

Our sponsors contributed also, so in all, everybody pitched in...MFF members with articles and content, sponsors with donations and adverts, designers, printers....and you know what, it was all worth it, because the magazine will prove to be the biggest donation in this initiative....

ok seafox send me a Pm with your contact number so we can meet some where

SEAFOX · May 18, 2011, 21:50:56 CET

Well said Gaffer, mhux "tal boss" imma, was boss but no more cos I am retired now and most times your "slave", but plenty of time on my hands to go fishing heq.....just wanted to keep the guys on suspense mhux hekk!!

Now that the "battle" is over with the mag its best not to mention the constant frustration, delays, corrections, set-up and all the awful moments that you had to experience,.... its all water under the bridge siehbi Joe but your perseverance has resulted in a memorable "MFF" publication.
I do not think that you wish to re-visit these last 4 weeks again!
Certainly a huge shout of appreciation to all those who in some way contributed, lest we forget.... special mention must go to Malvizzu, his immense involvement in artwork formatting at short notice & late hours was impressive, thanks Kevin.

@Offken - sent you a pm with all the info, glad to meet you when we have the mags in hand.

The_Gaffer · May 18, 2011, 22:03:32 CET

Yes, we must mention Malvizzu - great team player, never complains, just gets on with the job. We can safely say that Malvizzu saved the day a number of times, and was instrumental delivering the artwork for a number of adds!!...For free

However, I need to also give credit to Seafox. Silent, resilient and always there...tell you the truth guys, he was often my punching bag, and I would vent my frustrations on him. Great guy, what a friend.
Thanks goes to the article contributors, without you, the magazine would not be there. And last but not least, the sponsors who advertised on the magazine. Where would we all be without you.

SEAFOX · May 19, 2011, 12:37:22 CET

Thanks Gaffer for your very touching words which I really appreciate. Four months ago I gave you my word to help out & be at your side. Little did the "team" know that collecting ads, articles and having a 64 page magazine formatted was a mountain that we had never climbed before. I had to share your aggravation with some of the advertisers, the designers who drove us beserk, while maintaining you "on course" under very trying circumstances was no simple task.
Without your passion, zeal & drive to achieve this journal we would not have succeeded, no doubt.

Despite a few weeks late in having the mag go to print we truly appreciate the massive support of all those who contributed, including Antoine of course.
We now look forward to the next step, i.e getting the tournament well organized "a la Gaffer, Nick & Gogo".

see ya

The_Gaffer · May 21, 2011, 08:29:13 CET

Well what can I say. We inspected the mag yesterday, made 2 adjustments and gave the go ahead for the mag to go to print. Massive effort by all involved. This was our main source of income, as the magazine generated over €12,000. We need to deduct the printing expense. Now one last push to get the magazine distributed and then the Tournament.

caldaland · May 21, 2011, 12:25:11 CET

SEAFOX · May 21, 2011, 20:39:07 CET
