Arrivée est arrivé!

[Andrew]

Apparently, I'm on the front cover. I say apparently because I know nothing about it.

[vindec]

You & me both Andrew! It surely don't get bigger than this - 15ns of fame - enjoy it!

[recumbentim]

Strange absence of any recumbents

And PBP with some PBP and something about Paris.
Good artice on a Drum Brake Hub Though???

[Somnolent]

just did the Paypal renewal; how hard was that? 

Indeed - most simple and painless..... but the "return to AUK site" link after paying takes you to the old web-site... AAARGH I'd forgotten how ugly that looked.

Perhaps some/most might find this weird but I'd rather not have the 'fame' in truth. I would have preferred to have been asked first (and would have probably said 'prefer not')

It's a great photo 

[Andrew]

I wouldn't know! The only ones I've seen (of me) are the Maindru ones...  or whoever it was that took the 'official' photos... and, in fairness, there are a couple of good ones in there. Ironically, I did actually think one of them could be a good publicity photo for PBP!

[Jamiem]

Well I must say the photos of PBP have inspired me - looked great!

+1 but didn't realise my membership number clicks to the next letter now Gxxxx .... strange system.

Well, while the "number" stays the same, the prefix letter gets incremented so that we can see at a glance your membership status.  "F" expires in Dec 2011, "G" in 2012, "H" in 2013 etc (and just to keep you on your toes we miss out "I").  There's something about it on page 48 of the Handbook

There is a bit of a problem with the website at the moment so if you can't get access to www.aukweb.net/renewals then just hang on - Pete will have it fixed before too long

[Ray 6701]

When do we get the handbook 

[frankly frankie]

Not for ages yet.  Months.  You can download the current one from the website (when it's back up.)

[hellymedic]

I think the handbook arrives with the February Arrivée.

[zigzag]

my favourite shot is of Julian and Ian on the back cover - the "moving" background gives an impression of speed.

[Ray 6701]

I think the handbook arrives with the February Arrivée.

Thanks Helly 

[mikewigley]

I think the handbook arrives with the February Arrivée.

That's right.  The timetable of when you get the publications is .... in the Handbook, see page 1

I left my copy in the pub - is it possible to order a replacement?

[Jonah]

That's very kind of you Martin - thanks very much.

Do you work for Apple, by any chance?

Ah. Pipped to the post. I was going to offer you mine.

Pages are a bit stuck together, mind.

Howell's PBP the softies' way had me in stitches, was reading in the bath and laughing so hard that a) I nearly sloshed water over the side and b) my girlfriend had to come and check I was ok. 

Major giggle fit here, most enjoyable.

On a separate note, the renewal form has my date of birth wrong but upon going to correct it on the AudaxUK website the details there are right.

I have the same.

[Ashaman42]

Interesting. I did wonder if it was a printing error as it thought I was born in "January rather than January. Neither of which are April.

Was surprised also to see that both my membership number and password are printed on the form. Not that anyone could do much with my login details but still...

[hellymedic]

My June birthday has also become January. The year is correct.
I suspect some computer glitch has defaulted everyone to January.

[frankly frankie]

It might even be intentional.  Privacy an' all that.  (Though the same sheet does have your password on so possibly not.)

(@Ashaman - members have to be reminded of their password somehow - this is the most straightforward way of doing it.  It used to be printed, in plain view, on every address label - but that is no longer done.)
