I'll post them tomorrow but with the Bank Holiday you probably won't get them until Tues/Wed. The welcome letter includes an order form for the new 20th anniversary T-shirts (which look really good!). They are available in either white or blue and cost just £8.75 (inc p&p). There are limited stocks so order as soon as you get the form to avoid disappointment. Andy _________________ Andy Hine is also known as NEV! RCCGB - THE Club for trips!
