I received my copy of the new (Summer 16) issue of Volksworld yesterday and it appears it is a bit of a farewell issue from the team.
It looks like James Peene will no longer be editor and will be replaced by Ian Cushway (not a name I recognise but if it's the same Ian Cushway he appears to be/ have been editor of Classic Military Vehicles magazine).
After many years (12yrs of column writing at least) Mike Pye is also saying goodbye (sad about this one) and who knows who else but it mentions that the "team broken up and heading their separate ways..."
The magazine was taken over a few months ago by Kelsey Media but it looks like it's all change!
From a personal point of view, I don't think the magazine has been great over the past couple of years (since Ivan left) and I've been much preferring the content offered by Ultra VW, but still to change the backbone of the editorial team seems a big decision!
I love what the internet has to offer but I still really like reading articles about events and cars that are printed on good old fashioned paper - I may just be one of the old guys though...
Looking forward to seeing next month's issue and which direction it will take now....
