This reply comes from behind the parapet of Craig Castle.🏰

Lord Craig's 🤴copy arrived this morning but all hell 🔥⚡ has broken loose in Craig!
1 - His lordship does not have sense of humour and he is not amused by the 'Spot the April Fool' 🃏sticker on the envelope containing his copy of the News.
2 - As if that is not bad enough he has gone ballistic as he cannot find 🕵 the 'free' Society kit and
3 - Poor Angus McPhwat 👩‍🔧 is being reminded for the umpteenth time that he passed 'Alistair' 🚂 as fit to run before Sod's Law intervened and the valve gear failed 🛠 (see page 11 of your April 2021 News.)

Seriously though, thank you Chris for all your hard work during your term as Editor, you have gone out with a bang and will certainly be remembered and not just for the hats🎩. 🍾🏅🏆

My magazine and freek kit arrived today.
I think I will offer the kit for sale via the members sales service if any one wants to get a matching pair. How much are they worth?

My copy of the News arrived this morning and provided a good excuse to sit down with a cup of tea and read it, the News that is, not the tea.
I will make a start on the kit soon, and hopefully remember to post a photo of the completed model.

I was surprised to receive the kit with my emailed issue on this side of the pond. I will attempted to kitbash it into something appropriate for what I model.

Finally arrived in (for once) sunny Buxton. No visible free gift but did get one of Brian's 'pay up - membership due' begging letters!

Good point mine must be up soon, indeed I think it might have expired? Did I pay? How can I tell?

Stephen,

Look on the envelope and you will see the expiry date on the sticker with your name and address.

My news arrived today (West Sussex), having trouble assembling the free kit as I don't appear to have received the instruction sheet? Is it best soldered or glued? 🤭

I received my 009 News earlier this week. I appear to have been sent 4 of the Free Society Kits. I will be happy to return 3 if required. However, I was rather hoping to form a short fake rake with them.
