David
I know Phil at CHC has been looking to sell off his whole 9.5 collection and I was wondering what the possibility would be of the Group buying it for resale? A full list with prices could be included in the mag. It seems it might be a way to turn a profit and create a larger savings for the account which might offset growing printing costs, etc to keep membership fees level for a few more years? It was just a thought I figured I'd share.... Oh and any chance I could get one of those lapel badges from Ken?

Nice thought (the CHC) - I'll pass it along to other Committee members - although where would we put it (i.e in whose house?) while trying to sell on - I like the idea (even if 'Er Indoors wouldn't!). I'll ask Ken abut a badge for you.
Cheers, David E

Maybe Phil would let the group store it at his place until enough sells to make it manageable for an individual member to hold on to the rest....I think he just doesn't want to have to deal with them since the profit margin isn't what exists for the others....

We've started taking about it - you and your big mouth! Now I'm deputed to talk to Phil ("Well you've known'im for a long time!"). Serves me right!! On the other hand, I've got a badge for you and will post it in the next few days.
Cheers, David E
