Questions about THE NEWS

[paul ludlow]

Not seen my copy of the news either (west sussex). I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms, hands shaking, hot and cold sweats, anxiety. Or is that just a lack of alcohol?!?   :-[

The reason Jeff S got his copy was that I sent out emails with a link to the PDF version to those offshore members who have opted for PDF only. Normally I send that email on the same day my paper copy drops through the letterbox but as it was being rather tardy in arriving I decided to wait no longer. Just for completeness of information, on Friday I also sent the December paper version to all new members who had signed up after the December labels were printed and sent to Bill.

Postie's been and gone and still no sign!

Echo the previous poster.

[JulienW]

Looking at previous postings the problem seems to be with Royal Mail and a delay in processing rather than a lack of effort from Bill and the team.

Assuming that Royal Mail did collect them from Bill on the 26th Nov. then a week & a half seems a long time even for 2nd class post, but if I recall correctly the time limit for a posted item to be declared officially lost is six week (!) from whenever they were posted.

In the meantime I might have to re-read my November issue to keep the withdrawal at bay! :D

Thanks for the update Steve.

[Alan Feldon]

I am quite willing to sell copies of the online one !

[Paulc]

Thanks, Mick for the nudge from the other thread and Bill and others for the info.  It's probably to do with all these people sending pictures of robins, penguins and reindeer to each other!  :)

Just to report an outbreak of happiness in North Birmingham as my December News has just been delivered by the postie!

[Busman683]

My copy too has arrived. Many thanks to whomever sorted out whatever problem occurred.
Merry Xmas to all.

Me too ( west sussex) my copy arrived this morning just in time to enable me an excuse to not have to watch strictly dancing on ice whilst screeching out songs, or something like that. Cheers to who ever sorted it out. Paul.

[Paulc]

Mine has arived as well,  worth the wait.

Another happy bunny here as mine also arrived this morning. Thanks to Chris and the contributors for another good read.

I do love those muted colours on Tansy Bank - something to learn from.

Anyone interested in the Ali Shan diesels might like to take a look at the discussion on them here (in the Sales thread) a couple of months back.

That 'Cadfan' loco on p23 is a chunky looking beast, and I very much like Harry Dawe's 'Marchioness' at the bottom of the same page, looking resplendent in LBSCR livery (if I'm not mistaken!)

P.S. Must do something about that Codocil to my will....

[George Surridge]

The News has even penetrated darkest Norfolk.
May I comment that the photos in this issue seem to me to be much better quality than is often the case,excellent.
Finally 're the Will advice...add a line saying " do not let my collection be sold for the amount I told SWMBO I spent on it".
Geo.

I'm still waiting for my copy of the news....
