ATG and Membership Renewals...
As Mr Products I get to see all the orders, which includes membership renewals. The good news is that most people have already renewed, either by Standing Order, post or on-line - so thanks for that, as it makes the life of our Volunteer Membership Secretary that little bit easier.
Some people have missed the December first deadline - as notified in the letter sent with the last copy of ATG - and to cater for this our Wemaestro (also a Volunteer) has exceptionally kept the 'renewals' option open for a little long, having liaised with Membership. This will entail extra effort and cost for members (and thus less effort and money spent on things that help us all) as they'll be posted out to late paying members individually and not get any discounted rates at the PO.
Existing Members who join the Club in December but don't use the renewal option will of course receive the next copy of ATG, which will be out in February; but you'll miss out on the super-duper Christmas edition and also the vital graph on valves and opening times for air-cooled twins [see the thread on L5 Cams if this is vital for your knowledge store...]. Those who have already paid their subscription in December and are frustrated at not being able to get the Christmas edition need to contact the Membership Secretary and pay the balance quickly to avoid missing out! New members will receive their log on details with their welcome letter as usual.
Sorry for this formal stuff, especially as it goes against the spirit of Christmas, and I hope that you'll all appreciate what the 'hard working Committee' are trying to do here...
Good riding (except for those of you in Cumbria, North West UK, where it's good swimming...)

... apart from that an excellent read once I'd worked out the way to read the translated article...
