If the Unicycling Society of America is open to new ideas, they may
adopt UNI instead of the in-house newsletter we haven't been getting
for the past year and a half. My idea was to combine the magazine
subscription with USA membership, hopefully for the same price as a
regular subscription. People who don't want the subscription would pay
a much cheaper price for a minimal USA membership. Then the magazines
could include an insert for USA members with updates and other
information that may not belong in the magazine.

If you're a USA member and this sounds like a good idea to you, please
use the USA's 'contact form'
(http://www.unicycling.org/usa/about/contact.html), or better yet
'contact the board members directly'
(http://www.unicycling.org/usa/about/officers/).

Has anyone read or subscribed to "Uni". *If so is it any good?*

Absolutely.

As well as subscribing to the magazine and reading... the text in the
articles, you can also view... the glossy detailed photographs of
various people doing their thing with their unicycles, photographed by
professionals.

Once you've glanced at the gloss, seeing yet another average picture on
a PC monitor will never be the same.

If you just mean to distribute your newsletter WITH the magazine, and
to include a subscription with your membership fee, then fair enough.

If you're proposing to hijack the magazine and turn it into the USA
newsletter I'd say that's a bad idea for everybody else. Not everybody
lives in America you know (😉) <- semi-wink, semi-serious. It should
stay independent in my opinion.

I am sure that what John is suggesting is that a membership includes a
subscription to Uni Magazine, as it has more information and better
articles than the newsletter that never gets written. I am sure that he
is not suggesting poaching the name and reproducing the magazine for a
purely US market.

I didn't really think that's what he meant - or at least I hope not. I
was just checking - with the relatively small circulation of UNI
magazine I suspect the entire membership of the USA would represent a
significant proportion of the readership. If they started using their
"majority subscriber" status to manipulate the mag for their own
benefit I don't think it would be a good thing on the whole.

Exactly. Enough of a boost in subscribers (we hope) that it would make
a significant difference in Mike's being able to keep the magazine
going. These things are really a lot of work (and expensive) to
produce. If the numbers stay small it may not survive.

But attaching it to the Unicycling Society of America should not affect
the magazine. USA members could get an insert in their Uni Magazine (I
think I already said this), that could be one or more pages, and
probably a simple B&W thing. Mike Penton has noted that he could
probably do the inserting and mail them out directly from his place.
The same could work for other unicycle clubs or national organizations.

I know that, and it would indeed be a real shame if the mag could not
survive because of lack of subscribers...

...but it would be almost as sad IMO if it became "the Unicycing
Society of America magazine". I know that's not your intention
though.

I suspected that's what you meant - that would be a nice idea.

Has anyone asked Mike Penton how many people have subscribed or how many
he thinks he needs to make it worthwhile to keep Uni mag going. Why
has the U.S.A. slacked off so much with OOW? I too hope UniMag can
survive a good long time.

You can place an order to include issues 1 and 2, or start with issue 2.
It's all on thier website. You can also order issue 1 and 2
separately, but the subscription gives you a 2007 calendar and a uni
buff.
