Thanks for the input 2risky. I agree that some of the pieces I have compiled so far could do with a bit of friendly trimming, however I think a good mix of the concise and the verbose tends to work well in a magazine - it is about getting the balance right

I have NEVER tried to produce anything like this before, so the 'working document' in the link above will be seen to change in its style and content over the next month or so whilst we try to find the right balance. Lots of shorter bits and pieces will be in there and the 'features' will be less prominent in the finished eMag than they are now.

As we are hoping to produce an eMag in each quarter, some of the 'features' currently in the file may be either put on hold to a future issue or 'serialised'. But it is important to encourage others to contribute as it makes for a more varied and interesting read.

Keep the suggestions coming please and if you would like to contribute in any way, please get in touch

Thanks Chrissie

Just a few words to those who do not know about CAM-VIP and what it stands for;

The Campaign for Vaping in Pubs is an attempt to spread the word about ecigs to those who smoke and/or work in the pub trade. It's aims are to show 'vaping' in a subtle yet positive light to those who may never have heard of it, or those who have had bad experiences of the 'overly advertised inferior products'.

The CAM-VIP eMagazine is aimed at the casual non-vaping reader. The articles and features will all be vaping related but the emphasis will be on showing vaping as a part of other real life activities rather than concentrating on the ecigs themselves.

Imagine you are in a doctor's waiting room. You get bored, so you pick up a magazine that you've never heard of before and flick through it. You mainly look at the pictures but you read the odd article. The pictures show you the wonderful British countryside, great old fashioned pubs and traditions and it fills you with a warm sense of nostalgia for the (never existed) 'Good old days'. This is the type of eMagazine we are going to produce.

The hope is that 'subliminally', the message about how fantastic ecigs are just sticks in the mind of the reader.

Features that we are hoping to include so far are from the following people (these are just working titles btw);

Mojo Morgan - his band The Hoochie Coochie Band all vape and they tour the South West of Wales
Mark Davis - Norwich City of Ale
MacCumhail - Lone Vaper from Edinburgh and Glasgow area
Tim Boniface - Eastbourne and his experiences as a vaping DJ
Andrew - Ecigs and the markets of South Yorkshire
Chrissie - How the internet and forums can help the 'Isolated Vaper'
Alix Martin - Alston a vaping town

As you can see, the places and people are more much of a feature than vaping itself.

If you have a story to tell - and some great photos, please get in touch


All the best

I am hoping to produce a quarterly eMagazine that can be downloaded freely from the CAM-VIP site, printed off and taken to your local pubs.

Full details can be found on our website, but I would love other people to contribute in any way that they can. If you would like to help out, please get in touch

I'm not a Monarchist either (I'm from the Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire), BUT I feel more British than I have done for a long, long time and that is probably due to these celebrations.

It was a good show, spoiled by the lack of a big communal song at the end with everyone joining in
