Editorial
Hello, and welcome to issue 38 of MMM. Entry forms for our auction on 29 th Nov. are
included in this issue, which prompts me to digress. Over the years, many readers have
told me that they didn't know their subscription was due for renewal. When your subs.
are due, there WILL be a yellow renewal form included with your last magazine. To all
those who have sworn blind that they didn't get one, I can only assume that the
magazine was taken out of the envelope, with the renewal form left therein and thrown
in the bin. Trust me, I don't forget to include the form - I need your money! Once I get
the auction out of the way, I shall probably look at affixing small reminder labels on the
front of the envelopes, but in the meantime, please check before disposing of the
envelope.
Now, back to the auction. Every year I say I need to get the entry forms returned by
the closing date, in order to get the catalogue produced, printed and in the post; and each
time the deadline comes and goes, and I'm still waiting for entry forms. So please please
please get them returned to me by the closing date of 9 th Nov. Incidentally, some of you
have asked why I don't send the entry forms out earlier in the year. Simple really, you'd
just loose them or forget about them. So fill them in now whilst it's fresh in your mind.
Anyway, more on the auction further on in the magazine, including a few thoughts from
Jeremy on page 16.
And finally, some of you have ordered back issues and are still waiting for them. Don't
worry, I haven't forgotten (and that includes you John over the pond). Some time ago, I
had to have some of the earlier issues reprinted, and now find I've run out of some of the
other issues, which I had hoped wouldn't happen. Two in particular (issues 9 and 12)
had colour front covers, which is going to be bloody expensive to reprint in small
numbers, so I might have to print those myself. Anyway, I hope to get this done in the
next week, so please bear with me.
Well, that ' s it for now
All the best
Jerry
