Hello all,the latest developement on the magazine .I spoke to Peter Simpson this morning regarding articles and a web page in the magazine.He will be putting in an article on plant websites,I suggested, as he is looking for feedback on the magazine he should join us on this site and introduce himself.He can then get feedback from CMN members which will benefit our hobby,this site and the magazine.I told him we want more publicity for this site and ACMOC. It sound like he is all for that idea. I told him how good this site is because it caters for all types of interest in plant and machinery and various makes.
I hope this will work out.So if any of you want to make a comment on C P & M please feel free to use this thread.

I got a suggestion for CPM.......get rid of the regurgitated crap by the previous editor which as been appearing and get out and find some new stuff. The last issue was actually getting good but was let down by covering old ground with no real new interesting info/pictures. It still has not persuaded me too renew my subscription.

Head Down, Tin Hat ON.

The last two issues have been much better than other recent issues, though I agree the 'during my time as editor' feature is a bit pointless.
I quite like the new 'Heavyweight Debut' section for new machinery.
