I must stop referring to 'mug printers' -- they are not printing the mugs. They are hand-decorating them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(couldn't find a link, sorry). Cheers, Steve. I'm working on a web page to collect orders. I'll post details here as soon as I can. Also I am hoping that I will have mugs to sell at the German Railway Society show, Globalrail, in Didcot next Saturday (18 June). Note this is a MAYBE as I don't have a delivery date yet. Regardless, everyone should come to the show which should be a gem. Globalrail 2022 full details. Disclosure: I'm a GRS committee member! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Ordered! Thanks for doing this, I really hope it goes some way towards helping those poor people. I’m guessing the different payment options are so we may contribute more? I went for the middle option, sorry I can’t afford more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium readingtype Posted June 13, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 13, 2022 It's really encouraging to hear (and see) these orders. Thank you. Good news from the mug decorators: this evening I heard they should be able to deliver the mugs by the end of the week. In which case I will be bringing stock to Globalrail on Saturday for sale (see above). On the strength of that possibility, I have just ordered a pull-up banner to act as a good clear advert on the day. Even better, my colleagues in the GRS have agreed to take payment for the mugs on my behalf electronically. So: here's hoping for banners, mugs and a good turnout on Saturday. Oh, and the mailing boxes arrived today so postal orders are not neglected. Ben 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium readingtype Posted June 15, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) I guess that's the banner sorted then. What was the other thing? Edited June 15, 2022 by readingtype Formatting 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium readingtype Posted June 19, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thank you to those who have ordered already. I am at the packing stage for these orders. I do have more mugs: if you are contemplating an order, please do.

Allegheny1600 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Hi Ben, Just a brief note to say that my mug arrived safely this morning! Thank you very much indeed for doing this, it’s a great mug, exactly as you pictured above and it feels really nice in the hand. I don’t know if I’ll ever use it as a drinking vessel or just for display, it’s just nice to try and help. Best regards, John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
10800 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Mine too, many thanks for doing this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium readingtype Posted June 23, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thanks very much indeed for the delivery reports! Glad you like them. Would suggest you drink from them frequently, taking due note of course that the contents may be hot. In other significant news I have just made the first donation of £230, the funds raised so far from sales of the mug. As advertised this has been given to the Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal. Thanks to all who've supported this so far. Ben 5 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
