Unreasonable replies to text size and legibility

I suggest you bring this to the direct attention of the club, RTB, as the chances of it being seen here by a club staff member are fairly low.

Have you contacted either the editor or the club already?

Btw, what is silly about the suggestion of reading the mag online? It's surely the way to go. Also, I think you'll find very little of your membership fee, if any, goes towards paying for the magazine as the multitude of adverts fund it.

Surely the magazine should be accessible to those older members with poorer eyesigth (or younger members with poor eyesight)?  There is plenty of advice available for the writers/designers/printers of magazines.

As for reading on line - quite a lot of people find that not easy.  In my experience it depends on how the on-line version has been designed - some are better than others.  And of course on whatever device you have on which to read it.  

Some people prefer a hard copy and find it easier to take to where ever they wish to read it - the bath, for example!!

Personally, I do feel the print is smaller than desirable.  Does it bother me?  No - largely becasue I find so little to read in it!

I agree that the OP should contact the Club direct, but I do think there is an obligation that if they are going to produce a magazine, all members should be able to read it.

Magnifying glass anyone? I use one to supplement my reading specs when print seems to be too small.

If you read the online version, you simple zoom in to make the print size any size you need! 😉

Even as a relatively youthful 59 yr old I find the grey text not especially to read

At a reasonable guess I have scanned one item in the last 15 years and so cannot comment. Has the text got smaller David or has your arms become shorter with age?

Only a complete idiot would think that grey text is user friendly. Perhaps we should send hard copy correspondence in very pale grey text and see what the reaction is.

The new magazine style and especially the typefaces were criticised by many people including me when the changes were made and the problem has been highlighted in these forums before. I also think it would be in the interests of the members and the club that new posts on the forums could be monitored as they are on others.
