Dear PDGA Members,
The PDGA Board of Directors has selected Rich Givens and 4141 Disc Golf as the official magazine provider for the organization beginning in January 2008. The selection is the end result of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for magazine services that the association released earlier this year.
The new magazine will be 100% full color gloss, approximately 8 3/8� x 10 7/8�, and wrapped in a heavier, glossy cover stock with perfect binding. The provider will be using recycled (90%-99% post consumer waste) paper stock inside and out. There will be no fewer than 80 interior pages, including 14 full color pages dedicated to PDGA news. The publication will be produced bi-monthly (6 issues per year), providing extensive coverage and time sensitivity to calendars, announcements and communication to our members.
The tone of the magazine is planned to be contemporary and insightful with content and organization consistent with other successful sport and alternative sport publications. The magazine will include regular features and columns, reader feedback forums, humor, advertising and editorial. Contributors and staff writers will include prominent figures in the disc golf community, as well as non-disc literary professionals.
The anticipated newsstand price of the magazine will be $4.95 per issue or $29.70 per year but the PDGA has contracted to pay a special discounted rate of approximately $15 per year to include the magazine as a benefit of membership. Members wishing to opt out of receiving the magazine will be offered a $10 discount off of the standard membership fees in 2008.
The PDGA Board and staff look forward to the release of the first issue with great anticipation and we encourage all members to support this endeavor by choosing to receive the magazine.
Regards,
Brian Graham
PDGA Executive Director
