Yes - as Stan (helpfully)  says, the Sales Team are currently on their Christmas and New Year break, and will probably not reconvene until 16th January. But emails may well get an answer in the meantime.

Seasons Greetings to all.

Are you sure you've got the date right David? There's Ilton on 11 January which the Sales will be attending.............

Seasons greetings to you as well, I hope you have a good and peaceful Christmas and aren't too overwhelmed with the guests staying in your peaceful part of the world that you told me about!

Best regards
Mick

Thanks, but it was mistake. The new mag arrived last week, but I only had chance to have a quick glance, so put it "somewhere safe". When I finally had 10 minutes to call my own I picked the Jan 2016 one by mistake and thought that some new members kits were being released.  :-[

Members will be sorry to hear that Lee Bryant, our esteemed Sales Officer, recently suffered a fall while on holiday in Sri Lanka (all members of the Sales Team are - justifiably, of course - allowed one exotic foreign holiday out of the previous year's profits). The bad news is that he will be in hospital there for some time, though the (?) good news is that he is now the proud owner of a new Sri Lankan hip joint. Clearly, not the sort of memorable holiday he had been looking forward to.

One practical consequence of this is that Society Sales will now not be able to attend the SWOONS show at Ilton on 11th January. Our apologies to everyone who was looking forward to spending their Christmas money there but we're sure you'll understand.

Finally, the Team wish all members a very Happy New Year.

Get well soon, Lee!

[Julian Evison]

Poor Lee - what a sorry consequence of a holiday I know was greatly looked forward to by him and his wife.

I'll pass on people's best wishes to him.

Julian

Poor Lee - certainly a holiday to remember, but for the wrong reasons.

If you do make contact Julian please pass on best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[The Sales Team]

Further to post 199 (above), some better news: thanks to the dedication of certain gentlemen it now looks as though Sales WILL be able to attend Ilton after all. We don't like letting you down if at all possible!

Thanks for all the good wishes here and elsewhere to Lee, which will be passed on.

That's great news David. Can you let me know who has picked up the baton please and I will contact him/them to see if they need any assistance.

Can you let them know I will hopefully be there to help out behind the counter as usual!

[Julian Evison]

Thanks for the offers of help everybody. They have been passed on.

I've been in contact with Lee this morning via text and the news is encouraging.

He is out of hospital, but does need to go back each day for further treatment. Lee hopes to fly home next week, but that will completely depend on medical progress.

He was talking about getting to Ilton (!), but I think he is now persuaded that everything is in hand and he should concentrate on getting himself properly fit and well in the medium term.

[MickT]

That's good news Julian.

I've been in contact with both DC and JT members of the team and am assured that everything is in hand to get the stock picked up and transported to Ilton next Saturday so anyone who was re-thinking making the journey in the light of what has happened can be reassured that the table will be populated and manned by the time they have got through the door and had their traditional pasty care of Matt and Maria of the Devon Railway Centre and SWOONS catering corps!!

[The Sales Team]

A very big 'thank you' to everyone who helped at Ilton last Saturday. Financially it was worthwhile but more importantly Sales were able to be there for the benefit of members despite the initial fears that we would not be able to make it.

Special thanks to those who 'volunteered' to help in whatever way during the current indisposition of various members of the team - you know who you are.

We hope that normal service will be resumed asap and look forward to serving members throughout 2020.

The Sales Team.

We hope that normal service will be resumed asap

That's me banned then...  ;D

Glad you all had a good day
