Inflated News has changed it's name. In the current issue (September 2009) Peter Grand (owner Grand Affairs Group) explains why.
It became apparent that all sectors of leisure, play and attractions have common areas such as ISA’s, marketing. Health and Safety, annual testing etc and we felt that it was time to offer sectors outside of the bouncy castle hire sector more articles relevant to them whilst at the same time give interesting comparisons for all to read. In order to reflect the broader scope of the magazine it was decided to change the name to INPA. The name may well change again at some point in the future. With indoor play centres making up about 15% of our readers we looked at the market and found Indoor Play News produced by Mike Boy. Following discussions with Mike it was agreed to incorporate Indoor Play News into INPA with Mike continuing to write the content in his own style. Mike also convinced Anita Waddell of Agility Marketing to write a regular feature on marketing ideas and I’m sure all of our readers will benefit from this. In addition The Play Providers Association (PPA), The National Farm Attractions Network (NFAN). Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (R0SPA). British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and others were approached and you will see from this issue (September 2009,Issue 19) that all are making a contribution. As time goes on there will be others contributing. Add to this content from IPMA, RPII. AIMODS, TIPE. PIPA. SAFEchild and all industry sectors will find INPA a wealth of information to help al find something of Interest to assist them in running a safe and successful business. To accommodate the extra information this issue has been increased in size by some 60% and future issues will be increased as necessary. The INPA team anticipated that the magazine will have doubled in size by the end of 2010, The mag Is also divided into different sections covering the individual sectors. The INPA team have considered the A5 format and have decided to retain it in its current form. This enables us to keep production and distribution costs in check thus making INPA extremely attractive for advertisers. INPA welcomes all comments from its readers so let us know what you think. INPA thanks all of its contributors for their input and look toward to further developments in the coming issues." Source: |

"For those who are regular readers of the old Inflated News you may wonder why we decided to change our name. From the outset Inflated News was directed entirely at the bouncy castle hire industry but over the past two ears we have increased our circulation to include attractions, Local Authorities, indoor play centres, farm attractions and others who either come in contact with inflatable play equipment or are installing on their sites. Almost 40% of our readers are now from outside of the bouncy castle hire industry.
