sorry to hear that alan i hope it all works out ok for you and your relative.

i'm not going to warely. i went last year and i didn't really enjoy it that much. i'm not really a fan of huge crowds and the nec. i might go again next year though to try it again.

i have an lms saloon, a mk3 buffet and a class 20 on order so they will hopefully arrive for christmas! i'm not planning on buying any other rolling stock this year, but with ebay there is always the temptation of course...

I would pay the earth to go to Warley because its held in my home town, sadly the closest I can get to it is to watch some of the Birmingham videos and old pictures on youtube, then I can sit and get homesick and miserable, after 55 years being away from home I am still trying to figure out why my parents left Brum in the first place

Firstly, hope all goes well one way or another, EP. Yep, I too have been through similar stuff.... including a nightmare trip to the UK 22 years ago. My thoughts are with you. It's keep on keepin' on, mate. Time doesn't heal everything, but it helps.

On a business note, I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought here maybe is best? There are a lot of NGS members on this forum (including some officials of aforesaid organisation, I'm sure), and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am a very new member of the NGS and am about to buy my first item - the new Inspection saloon, which is an awesome gem!

However, I am a bit concerned about putting my credit card details in an envelope and mailing it across the world. Should I use cheque?

And, what is a Maestro issue number?

Cheers George

Not a lot.. in fact my calendar between now and about August just got completely trashed as I'm looking after a family member about to go in for surgery/chemotherapy/radiotherapy for cancer.

Must admit missing Warley doesn't seem importan or a hardshipt on the larger scale of things right now.

If that concerned ...if a cheque would be acceptable from NZ then it's safest (but best check with the Shop first !!!).  Otherwise ... again, after checking with them, splitting the number into several emails may be better, ditto with the validation code.

As to Maestro - it's a type of debit card; the issue number is the number of cards you've had (so 1 for the first, 12 if you lose a lot etc).  No other do issue numbers, I think.

And you might want to also contact the committee of the society and remind them that in the 21st century paypal and the like would be quite useful internationally even if the member had to pay the paypal fees.

Don't forget to pick up your RTR NGS Inspection saloon (which should be ready). I've had a chance to
closely check them over and they're pretty nice;

Unfortunately it's a bit of a long swim/walk so I guess I won't make it to Warley so don't you people go snappin' them all up!  :'(

[matteos]
