Kelsey Media buys Morton's titles including Model Boats
« on: February 20, 2025, 11:48:33 am »
Morton's titles and events (but not printing) have been bought by Kelsey Media who publish Ships Monthly among other magazines.

How this might Affect Model Boats we will have to wait and see.

Once again there are a lot of questions.
Model Boats, RCM&E and Model Engineer are the absolute basis of UK modelling in their respective fields. I suspect that only one title is relatively safe.
As to the forums...............???

And despite a decade of requesting post# numbers be added on the original forum, look what a pigs ear Mortons made of it. How many "Pages" are generated due to repeat postings of replies by reposting complete original posts. Having said that, this forum suffers from "Cut and paste" replies in having to post and then "Modify" to get rid of the extra notations we did't know we generated.

It looks like Mortons have given up with proof reading on the website for Model Boats magazine.
The latest issue is posted up as March 2024.......2024?
I hope for better things with Kelsey.
