It is amazing to think that it is February already…time seems to go faster and faster every year. We have now partnered up with Vapefest Ireland and had a great time in Dublin when we launched Issue Two at Vapefest Ireland 2015 which was held at the Aviva Stadium. You can read more about that elsewhere in this magazine. We are also absolutely delighted to announce that the Global Vaping Association has made Vapouround Magazine the official vaping magazine for the UK so we are naturally thrilled about that. In December we went to Parliament for a meeting with Chris Dodge (Secretary General at the Global Vaping Association) and Mark Pawsey (MP for Rugby & Bulkington) who also started the All Party Group for E-cigarettes. It was a constructive, informative meet and we have a great opportunity to educate people about the health benefits of e-cigarettes and why this highly valuable smoking cessation tool should not be demonised. In other exciting news which you can also read about elsewhere in the issue, we are very proud to announce that we will be launching the first Vapouround Magazine Award Ceremony in May. This will be a glittering night out and a massive industry event which will celebrate some of the very best that the vaping industry has to offer so you won’t want to miss out on that. We are also the official media partners with Vaper Expo UK which is taking place in Birmingham in May and we are very much looking forward to attending this event, meeting up with old friends and making new friends. In what has been an amazingly busy first few months we have also formed a number of media partnership deals overseas in Poland, Germany, France, Italy and the USA where we will be the official media partner at the World Vapor Expo in June. So enjoy this latest edition of Vapouround Magazine and if you see any of the team out and about at events during the coming year then be sure to say hi as we always love to hear from you. It is clear that we have come a long way in a very short time and we plan to scale even greater heights throughout 2016.
