Really sad.
I've had a number of pics in there over the years, 5lb chub, 7lb and 9lb tench in a session back in the 1980's, a 12lb tench, 20lb carp, two 2lb roach in 2 weeks a few years ago.
I can remember winning 2 Daiwa reels, AG1350's Rear drag reels perfect for ledgering with my twin tip ledger rods and the screw in tip section, and a large box of Korum luggage and bits, some of which I donated to an angling charity.
I used to love the Andy Little piece, Frank Barlow match report, and the Anglian reports gave me a fair few places to fish.
Think it is the same as most other withdrawals, keeping up with the internet. Must admit I do prefer the paper version over anything on 'net though.

Gutted . 30 years of fishing and I still get it when I can . Stuck at the moment with the online version as I live abroad . Spending my pocket money on getting the times and mail. Hopping to get some free floats or a disgorger. Think I have got one of the free little green boxes somewhere

The adverts that appeared around November time for the wooden box of floats and other tackle bits. 50 odd assorted floats, wagglers and stick floats, shot, bread punch, some hooks and decent ledger weights.
I bought one when I was 14, the box stayed with me until I was on my 20's. Most of the floats were really decent sets, from smallest to largest, insert wagglers, canal wagglers, Avon and stick floats.

Tis a shame, must have bought hundreds when I was younger. At that time there wasn't any other way of getting the info/your fix other than mags/papers, nowadays the info is so freely available it's beyond belief, in fact I'd go so far as to say nowadays the problem has become finding the right info by having to wade through all the crap that's out there.
A sad day but inevitable

In the same boat as most, hadn't bought since i was on my paper round (remember the art of angling? monthly subscription that went in a folder as well?). The issues approaching the traditional start always had a spool of line, plastic disgorger or a clam shell bits box. I still have the bright green one they first did containing all my bits and pieces today.
The one thing it did do, was make the visit to the supermarket more bearable when the missus got side tracked by the clothing aisle!!
