Magazine reminder
The normal Annual magazine will not be printed this year, rather we are producing a Lift-out in the Australian Community Media rural papers to reach 85,000 readers.
As a breeder, you may be contacted by their sales team for advertising. This is your chance to promote your stud to the widest print audience.
The lift-out will be posted out to all members the first week of December and will be inserted into the Fairfax/Ausn Community Media papers the 17th of December.
