ParkeNd Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Mine are all securely attached. Cheers Paul Glad yours are OK. Mine haven't come loose - they were never stitched. To fix it the middle 6 sheets would need to be removed, the loose sheets inserted in their place, then the middle sheets placed on top of them - then try to rework the staples in. Probably not a goer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahame Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Progress on Journal/Newsletter issue 4/17 (July /August 2017) is well advanced. I've got all the articles and features in place and I'm now just working on the 'What's New in N' section and the Newsletter content. I won't be able to undertake work on the Journal before the usual copy deadline (which is usually around the 28th) so I need to get everything completed quite quickly in order to provide print ready files before I'm away to hit the scheduled send out date which is week commencing 24th July. The printers like those at least three weeks in advance to arrange printing, collation, finishing and packing before mailing out. The Newsletter will contain important society news (about things like the recent AGM, accounts and minutes) and the Journal will include a number of features about 'bashing buildings' to hopefully help members with modelling buildings and structures for their layouts.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2017 Many thanks for that. I think half the problem was I was trying to shop late at night in a dingy train crew room on my mobile. Two tanks now ordered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
