Pebbles Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 My understanding is that 272 will be 2 weeks late. My friend also told me that Cygnet Magazines no longer accept annual payments but only for 6 months ( four issues) at a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going to increase my usage of cheques by 100%. I’ll now need to order a replacement cheque book in 2031, and not 2044 as I had been planning... 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan My profound and sincere apologies for reading the articles and not the small print about something I thought I already had. Whilst I was checking every other piece of text in the magazine to make sure I wouldn’t be in position to embarrass myself like that again, I noticed that the cover price has gone up to £5.20 starting from issue 271. However, the good news is that technically this means I’m 80p up on this year’s subscription. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard bit was nicking somebody's bin lid to use as the wicket. We used a lamppost for a wicket. On one occasion I hooked a full toss through a neighbour's window. As the window was open, my parents didn't get a bill from the glazier but they did get one for the broken crockery in the kitchen dresser. I don't think we got our ball back.

We must have been up market in S5 then, we had stumps, spare bat, balls and an old pair of Sheffield tram drivers gauntlets for the wicketkeeper!

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted July 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2019 No need to apologise. It was pointed out to me. Th worrying thing is that the reasons seems to be that the publisher is not sure how long the magazine will continue. Jonathan 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2019 In '77 whilst on holiday in Brittany we played cricket on the beach, we used sticks of french bread for the wicket held in place with eating irons stuck in the sand and a bit of drift wood for a bat and artichokes for the ball, we were lucky if we got one over per artichoke.

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted July 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2019 I read it somewhere on here. Another RMWebber had asked why only four issue subs and that was the gist of the response. Of course, I can't now find it. Let's hope it isn't true.

Jonathan I had noted printed requests for readers to recommend the publishers' range to fellow modellers. I did wonder then if there were 'problems', and the reduction of the subscription duration only added to my concerns. Regards, John Isherwood.
