(It's been an awesome sight as I witnessed from my comfy chair in a quiet corner of the office whilst nursing a glass of the finest malt
)With a following wind it will be in the hands of the postie tomorrow, so you should get yours by weekend. If it doesn't arrive this could be because:
1. The postie threw it in a hedge-bottom (unlikely)
2. You've moved and haven't told us (possible)
3. You've not upgraded your subs to the current rate of £20 by Standing Order (very possible)
4. We've made a mistake and missed you off the distribution list inadvertently (slightly possible)
The members' database has been undergoing a major rebuild over the last year to take account of the now well-publicised increase in subs. Both your Membership Secretary and Treasurer have been working hard to check who's paid what, who's up to date and who's not. As subs. come in all through the year in dribs and drabs, you may imagine this is something of an ongoing and weighty task. But as of now we think it's correct. Notably, there are quite a few names which I personally recognise as active sailors who appear to have only paid the previous sub. of £10 and, therefore, fall into category 3. above. This may be because the database is not fully up to date awaiting bank statements - but this can be checked as necessary.
So if you don't receive a magazine in the next few days and you believe you should have, please email a message to: membership@sprint15.com with a copy to me at: newsletter@sprint15.com and we will do our best to sort the matter with you very quickly.
In the meantime, to those who do receive a copy, I hope you enjoy the read. A big thanks to all the contributors for this edition - great job folks and please send more stuff for the next edition.
I'm off for another wee dram
Cheers
