Recreation activity paper
 
Snowbird just returning and was so looking forward to getting the rec paper listing all the clubs today. Went to buy the paper to get it and appears it’s no longer included in the newspaper. So went to a rec center to get one. SO disappointed with size of the paper! It used to be so impressive to share with friends etc and now there’s 6 pages of club descriptions. That’s it. I know it’s online also but it’s hardly the same. I used to look forward to Thursday so much to get the rec club listing. What the heck happened and is this the way it is from now on? No more full listing descriptions of all the clubs? Very sad that there they appear to not be printing full listings anymore to share with people.

Any thoughts?

If the search function was working you could find a number of threads discussing this topic.

The very vocal minority won the day and we are saving about $5 per year per residence as a result .

I got one in my newspaper on this Thursday.

I also got one on Thursday that is the day it comes in the paper. You can get the same thing at the Rec Centers and it is smaller than it was to save money.

if you buy the daily sun (rather than subscribe) the rec paper is not included.

That's awful! Too small to read and how am I supposed to mark it all up?
Well, I guess it's already been bitched about tons but it's news to us Snowbirds so the lines will be all lit up.....

Two fingers together and then apart.....enlarged print.
Bitching about it when announced didn’t change anything.
Times are a changing......
