Members' Sales

[JulienW]

18 past Noon, just for clarification.

[Hobby]

Same as mine, Julien, I assumed you were using the 24 hour clock!

12:18 is just after midday, David, 00:18 would be just after midnight

Yes - as I said, Brian E normally does indeed send the list out at around midnight - possibly for the benefit of our Antipodean members. For some reason this time it seems he dispatched it about midday on Monday. Hence my anxiety at not seeing it first thing on Monday - I thought maybe it wasn't going to appear after all!

That's torn it! All this talk of when I send out the listing has caused me to remember what Number Six said: "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!"

Read into it what you will.

Did he? I thought he said "I am not a number"

I only said 'normally', which allows for plenty of deviation from the normal, I think (up to 2 standard deviations, anyway, or maybe Board members are allowed more?)

An excellent Members' Day at Jarrow last Saturday, with very healthy sales from the Society sales stand. Apart from the welcome income hopefully they also reflect plenty of happy members who were able to go home with a bargain! Thanks to everyone for their support.

P.S.  Good to have a visit from Blair Hobson to the Sales operation this week, too! (Visitors are usually welcome, preferably with prior notice so we can arrange extra doughnuts.)

Hi. I will be at EXPONG in 10 days time. This might be an obvious question but do I have to prove I am a society member to make use of the society sales stand or is it open to all?
David.

[JulienW]

Hopefully you can still rescue the envelope your last 009 News came in from the recycling box. If so then the address label will have your membership number & renewal date on it, and thereby proof of membership.

From memory though you are unlikely to be asked for proof to purchase from the 009 sales stand at ExpoNG as it is generally open to all, but it might be useful to get into the show as they used to do a discounted entry for members of the various NG model railway societies, though looking at the poster for the 2019 show on their website this concession isn't shown so they may no longer be doing it.

Hope that helps,

Julien Webb

[DavidThompson]

OK Julien thanks.

Hi, David -

The short answer is that the Sales Stand will take money from anyone at expoNG!

There was a time when Society members were entitled to a 10% discount (sometimes on production of their membership card) on good sold but that is no longer the case - the discount is now built in to prices.

Enjoy the show and spend lots with Sales!

A big 'thank you' to everyone who helped out on the Sales Stand at the Wessex Open Day at Colehill last Saturday.

Thanks, too, to everyone who spent money - Sales took just over £3,000 which may be a bit down on last year but is still reasonable enough.

Of course, it's not about the money, but hopefully giving the members things they need (or maybe just want...)

I bought a few items that I'd not seen elsehwere so very happy. Very friendly event. Look forward to the next one.

[Stephen Rainsbury]

Is the new RNAD Brake van (and other kits) available mail order please?

EDIT :  Too much Christmas cheer, I accidentally picked up and old copy of the magazine from 2016 instead of a new one, there is no new Brake van.  :-[

[Stan Williams]

They may reply to you, but usually the sales department closes for the festive season and remember they are volunteers.
