I glanced at that one and thought all 3 were just waving amiably, in a display of appreciation and joy at their rural itinerary. I believe jsabine is on the commitee - it MUST be an optical illusion that his hands are in fact ...

No, I can't bring myself to type it. It can't be possible.

A board member, possibly, in contravention of Regulation 9.3.3 - I am appalled.

Won't someone think of the children?

Having thought of the children, I feel - no, I am - suitably ashamed.

I thought the cover photo was great.

Now I've seen the cover, so do I. Can't imagine why anyone would make a fuss.

Agreed, refreshing to see something different on the cover.

Packaged with my Arrivée was the front sheet for myself and AN Other.
I have emailed Mike to tell him.

Hope Other gets a mag soon.

No - it's a really nice cover, great piece of art.  There's some background on it in the editor's intro.

Good stuff.

Please let me know if you have someone else's renewals invitation as it means that they are missing out on their Arrivee. 

I used to include loads of useful things in this letter, such as a reminder of your password for www.aukweb.net, but as the mailing service we use cannot guarantee that their paper handling works perfectly, I don't, which is a pity.

Hope you received my email.
AN Other, like me does not need to renew membership this year (but still deserves an Arrivée).

Loving the picture of John "The Guv'nor" Spooner with his sidekicks on P38.

So it was PBP this year. Who knew?

My copy has an extra p23/24-41/42. Lucky me!

The back cover is as good as the front, in its own way.

It should be noted that, breaking with the tradition of at least the last hundred issues of Arrivée, there's a photo of yours truly!

Turns out my son's copy had someone else's form in it too. Did everyone get two, or are we just blessed as a family?
