[jonclox]

Oh yes there would.

Oi !! stop arguing with us 

[moogle]

Well, I've now added my NGS number.
Though it does seem to be lower than everyone else's!

Thats an old skool society number that is!!

Well, almost!
Here's a question: are numbers below 10000 recognised in the Society prize draws?

Be a bit of a bummer if not. - whoever's got Number 1 would be brassed off (No mention of No.2 please!)
Do the numbers relate to members i.e. if mine is 21962 does that mean at the time I joined there were 21,962 members

[Damian]

I would guess the numbers are sequential, I joined a few years ago (4 or 5 maybe?)

I have just taken out a years membership to see what it is like, although I do realise as an American & Japanese modeller (hopefully soon  ) there wont be a lot of specific stuff to interest me but I am hoping to pick up tips on general layout topics.

I also received the handbook and have to say I was impressed with the quantity but was surprised, given the computer age we live in, some of the rather poor diagrams.  I shall persevere with it though

Well I did join in 1988...

Well I figured there must be another 'Old Skool' member join at some point! 
Can't say I recall a 4 digit member winning, I may be wrong though...

Numbers are sequential as Damian said and are allocated as people join.
If you left and rejoined later you would have a new, higher number.
There's currently something like 5,500 members.
It amazes me that over 15,000 have joined since me!
Just think if they'd all stayed as members....

Persevere with it! The handbook has each section updated every now and again but being a voluntary thing takes time.
The sections with the poor diagrams are probably on the cards...

I had a lower number for the NGS when I joined the first time in 1994 I think, but when I rejoined I didn't think to ask for it to be renewed.  Not to worry, it's not a competition.    Or is it?!

I am waiting for someone outside the UK to win - although it is a bit of a longshot as apparently only 10% of members do.  Odds on if it were me, it would be something for eBay to get beer tokens to get what I really want
