BTS journal arrived v23 No. 4

[Peter Lacey]

Thanks Angela for getting the new journal out, already drooling over it.

Thanks Ray for the BTS members analysis. In your bid to separate Wales and Scotland you completely forgot about the English, lmao! oh, and its Country not County, surely?

good work by all who contributed, much appreciated.

[Craig Mackay]

The whole member analysis thing was pretty cool. I dunno if I got confused or not but how come plate 1 said there was 8 Scottish members but plate 2 has 16 dots in Scotland. I see there's another member living near me. It'd be good to meet them. Always keen to meet like minded people.

Yes another good read folks, but Ray, you made a typo in the last paragraph of the member breakdown, you put or the publisher put, toady for today, I laughed at that I tell ya. I noticed no numbers for English members too, but interesting none the less, thank you.

[Richard Gallon]

I blame the editor lol.

Yes there are slight differences between the text and the map. Basically Ray sent the membership list to me (from which I generated the map) a few months after he'd written the article, so any discrepancies are due to renewals/new members and the like which occured in the interim.

It's also a lot easier to see which country a particular town is in from a map - rather than a list of postcodes lol.

"toady" and "county" - bugger, I missed those, but so did the proof reader

Cheers,
Richard

[Phil Rea]

Nice to know that there's a third member along the coast up here Richard

[Nicola Dolby]

Haven't got my journal yet because I'm not at home. If there is anyone near me on the map who can look in on my spids during the next couple of weeks can you please PM me or e-mail me. most of my spids are ok but I've got a couple of juvies and an "about to moult" bohemi juvie which might need checking on. Many thanks.

[James Box]

hopefully my change of address email came through or i don't know if i'll see the journal!
looking forward to it though, if it arrives

[Samantha Lewanewsky]

What???

I haven't had my journal yet

Don't forget about me

[Mrs Linda Street]

Our journal has not turned up yet either

[Richard Gallon]

I'm sure they'll filter their way through the postal system within the next few days. Remember that 1st class postage doesn't mean next day delivery anymore - like it did in the past!!
Cheers,
Richard

[Ray Hale]

Hi everyone just to let you know that we no longer send all of the journals out at once. We now have to send them out in batches as our wonderful post office will not accept them in large numbers. Its a pain as we have to make about twenty trips.
Rest assured they will get to you soon.

Angela

[Samantha Lewanewsky]

Thats a bit strange, surely the post office should send what you want sent!

[mary walters]

Richard, I CANNOT imagine you saying bugger, you are such a quiet lad.

[Matthew Baines]

I'm sure they'll filter their way through the postal system within the next few days. Remember that 1st class postage doesn't mean next day delivery anymore - like it did in the past!!

To be honest neither does guaranteed next day delivery as we found when 2 of my dads slings were stuck in the post for 2 days and turned up dead due to the cold. Royal mail need to sort them selves out badly before someone else comes along and puts them out of business!! Just shows you privatisation doesn't work!

[Mark Pennell]

Got my journal today, so this means I will add the PDF version to the BTS members area (codes etc.) and update the e-store.

Cheers
Mark
