lastpubrunner Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi there, As a belated Christmas present, my parents have decided that they'd like to buy for me, twelve months subscription to a Shetland newspaper or magazine. Can anyone provide any Internet links through which such a subscription may be purchased ? I'd be pleased to be informed of journals that forum members might recommend.

WineFairy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Lastpubrunner My Shetland Times drops through my door every Saturday (depending on the weather in Shetland) and keeps me amused and caught up with events so I would personally recommend that. I live in the Manchester area which illustrates to me that the PO is pretty good at getting the Times over long distances efficiently. Not sure about an internet link though as my Dad generally goes into the office once a year and pays in person. I'm sure it can be done though and I'm assuming you'd find a Shetland Times website through google. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I don't think there's a subscription link at www.shetlandtimes.co.uk but you can certainly arrange it by emailing subs@shetland-times.co.ukPersonally, I think a subscription to both The Shetland Times and Shetland Life would be a very sensible idea!

corporate Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 agree with the shetland times, but wouldn't bother with shetland life, a waste of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi WineFairy, Thanks for the message; you may be interested to know that on May 1st, Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham are playing just an hour* from South Manchester - in North Shropshire. * That's an hour from Altrincham/Sale - where I lived many years ago.

WineFairy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Lastpubrunner Thanks for that - I'll look into it. I am in South Manchester so it would probably only be an hour or so for me too. cheers J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 You can use the same email address for Shetland Life and the Shetland Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in South Manchester so it would probably only be an hour or so for me too. cheers J Aly & Phil are appearing at The Last Inn, Hengoed nr Oswestry, Shropshire - 1st May. I'd be happy to buy a pint for you (or anyone from Shetland) who can get to the concert. I'd be pleased to introduce you to Aly, should you want to chat about Shetland or life in general. For details http://www.adastra-music.co.uk/html/101_artistInfo.php?id=14 The Last Inn is a great venue - I lived there for nearly 27 years, so I should know !

WineFairy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Fantastic! thanks - I'll let you know. cheersJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastpubrunner Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Fantastic! thanks - I'll let you know. cheersJ This will be Aly & Phil's 5th time at The Last Inn; their popularity seems to be increasing with each concert. IF you are interested, tickets go pretty quickly. I know that ALL the front row tickets have gone and a fair few from the 2nd row. There will be about 230 at the concert - numbered seats are provided. If you book early, you can specify where you would like to sit - subject to availability.

lastpubrunner Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I repeat my plea for an email address to which I can get a subscription to a Shetland Newspaper/Magazine. I sent an email to subs@shetland-times.co.uk, but three weeks later, I've not yet had a reply. IF Shetland newspapers & magazines wish to sell their journals further afield, wouldn't it be a good idea for them to put subscription details on their websites ? ie Make it easier for potential customers to give them money.
