Still not got mine - renewed my membership (to 2017!) in time etc. Are they posted in batches? Or are the stagecoaches to Devon possibly missing some wheels?

Well it's posted 2nd class so there's always going to be a spread.

You might check that your membership renewal has been processed - see www.aukweb.net, click on Members and MyDetails.  If your expiry date is less than 2013 and you think you've sent us money, then let me know.  You might also check the postal address listed there while you are at it.

I have some Arrivees to send out from here for those who missed the cut when I created the mailing list from the membership data as held at 20 Jan 2013.  I'm unlikely to get to the post office this afternoon so these won't go until Monday.

but as far as I know they all sent out from the printers at the same time.  A bit like an Audax, some get there faster than others.

Thanks - have checked my details, and membership until 2017 has gone through & address details are correct.

Maybe they've stopped to water the horses at Tiverton  :)

If it's any consolation, our copy is travelling full-value as well.

I can't find the lists of people who've been listed most times. Nor the lists of people who've been listed most often in those lists.  :)

If I didn't know you better I might think you were taking the micky.
Deliveries to Devonshire do seem to be late.

Very glad you know me better! (I am indeed a devoted list observer, delighted to ever get on one, and admirer of people who do appear on them. It's serious fun!)

Re: The two strategies etc -
I hate to say it, but this is shambolic.

Agreed, but I hope this is a case of ideas still being batted about, but frustrating if you know what needs to be done...

AUK does have a lot of funds in the bank and could perhaps afford to take a few risks with funding various projects. We have a good, though varied product, distince from sportives and competitive riding.

Better publicity and headlining large scale events are the main points in common I think.

Just checked out the Arrive'e Winter 2012 but can not seem to find anything on events in Scotland. Do they get a different edition up there? Was realy interested in the 'Snow roads 300km' which was listed on the contents page but could not find anything inside. I think it must be good as it is rumoured a documentry was made about it featuring a legendary rock star.

Nope, there's not a separate Audax Écosse edition (yet). It's listed on the contents page, but nothing inside.  ???
Maybe next edition?
It's a bit weird, but actually quite wonderful.

Thanks Eck. Will the next snow roads be finished by the time the article comes out?
How would I join Audax Écosse? Would I have to move up to Scotland with my Brompton? I was thinking Forfar as that seems to be the centre of all things audax up there.

I understand that Comrie is the centre of Audax en Ecosse.

Quite so, boabacca. But there are those who would have you believe it's Musselburgh.  :-X

These places are never mentioned in Arrivée. I think I read that Forar has a top team and top pasties.

Well, they may be the food of the Goods, but I always thought Sonya's mum's omelettes/pancakes were the food of the Gods!

P.S    The stovies at Benderloch weren't bad either.
