Everyone
The next issue should be with everyone shortly. It's left the printers.

Everyone
We've obviously got a batch of duff copies judging by the emails coming at me. In the first instance, please drop an email to Brian, memsec@009society.com and we'll endeavour to get replacements out as soon as possible.
Information is trickling in and we don't yet know the extent of the issue. I'll post more information as soon as I can.

Some very good articles in this issue - many thanks, Stuart and to the contributors.
Yes, another good issue - thanks, Stuart.
If John Murrell's article has whetted your appetite you too can have your own model of Snapper Halt as Online Sales have one - but only one - just arrived in stock. A snip (?snap) at just £2.
For L&B modellers there are plenty of other L&B items in our online shop, and more will be coming in the next week, including more resin buildings in the same range as Snapper Halt, laser-cut wooden kits and Worsley Works brass etch L&B coach kits. (Also some items for tram collectors - but not L&B ones!) Please watch the website for new arrivals.
The Sales Team.
Hopefully enough people have got an undamaged copy by now and the pdf link has gone out. We're hopeful the number of damaged copies will be under 100 but we're still only a few days into people receiving and opening.
The only innovation to this month's issue is the use of active links in the pdf. Hopefully this will help some people click through to society sites and to join the AGM meeting. I spent a while trying to find a simple way to have the links not be blue in the paper copy but the only method I could see was to disable each link individually so I decided it was a small price to pay!
Speaking of the AGM, if you want to have the AGM information separately then you can access it at https://009society.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/AGM-Final-1.pdf (https://009society.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/AGM-Final-1.pdf)
As always, all feedback and discussion is welcome.

Properly constructed copy received yesterday morning, thank you for the quick turnround. As an aside, I really don't understand people who put complaints (about anything) onto social media before trying to rectify the situation by going straight to the source first, but then perhaps I don't understand the way places like Facebook, twitter etc. are supposed to work.
Tbh I feel its wrong to blame whatever social media platform for any of it, in the old days those same people would have written a letter to the "Times"! It's just the way some people are, social media just makes it quicker and faster to moan.

Do we have to ask ourselves, is this forum actually a more exclusive form of social media?
Yes it is. But more to the point it, and NGRM, are much better policed so things are calmer. One reason I prefer a forum over FB.
