You don't keep all the back copies in a Commemorative binder then?

God no! Tho I might start selling them on Ebay for AUK members who have their copies stolen by the Royal Mail.

Would you offer shipping by Royal Mail?

The (understandable) threads about non-arrival have so far deflected me from saying what a good issue this is. Sheila has done her usual good job. I especially liked the article by Derek Heine, who writes about his recovery from a thug-attack in Wales and the help he got in his rehabilitation; inspiring stuff. There's also a nice article on wild-flowers by Tricia Farnham and a great new permanent in the Lake District from Revellhino. Hope you get yours soon!

Derek's article was moving, and I too enjoy the ride reports. The article about the "easy way to an SR" really appealed to daisyhill who even said, "One day..."

I was very interested in the Strategic stuff - only mention it because I enjoyed reading it in Arrivee. (But there is enough discussion of the content of that section elsewhere).

A great magazine! Thank you.

. The article about the "easy way to an SR"

I'd better have a look at that then

jogler · « **Reply #1383 on:** 03 March, 2013, 02:24:21 pm »

It doesn't say "easy",it says "ideal".

Who has nicked the Snow Roads article which according to the index should appear on page 20?

Rode with 2 AUKs in my club this morning - they've both had theirs and only live 6 miles away! Gits.

Must email that nice chap ...

Email it is then....the worrying thing is, what other important post has gone AWOL

Slightly OT, but I ordered a chainring and sprocket from Triton cycles three weeks ago which they say they posted a couple of days later. It never arrived. To their credit, they sent a replacement order by courier a couple of days ago.
But, yes, you have to wonder just how much gets 'lost in the post'... $:-\$

I think I read what I wanted to read, rather than what was actually written.

Il est bien arrivé en France.....Some days ago - have been waiting to post on some of the issues raised by t'committee and have spent some time upthread on on line entries etc....

Well, you may actually have the most larcenous postman in England ... but if it reassures you, we've had deliveries every day since the start of The Great Arrivee Mystery.

Have not received mine yet in Great Bedwyn.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are Derek Connor. Please confirm your address, but an SN8 postcode would seem to indicate that your copy of Arrivee is receiving extra special care from the Royal Mail. I'll have to send you another.

Mike, if you are having to resend to everyone with a postcode that means it passes through the Swindon sorting office (OX, RG, SN and I think whatever covers Dorset) you must be running out of copies by now?

STMS · « **Reply #1394 on:** 04 March, 2013, 05:01:57 pm »

Got my new copy thanks

Somnolent · « **Reply #1395 on:** 04 March, 2013, 07:19:24 pm »

Got ours too.

Disappointed not to be listed in New SRs on page 55 (although we appeared on the website)
Mrs PpP should also be listed as new Randonneur on page 53 (her first 200 was the 2012 Poor Student) and isn't.

We do both appear appropriately as first time RRTYers though.

Still waiting in SP2; but interestingly have had 2 letters from Southampton go missing. Our local posties are excellent but bigger sorting offices seem to be failing....

Received my (replacement) copy today thanks!
