Also the welcome letter will include an order form for the limited edition 20th anniversary T-shirts (as seen at the Bash). Andy _________________ RCCGB - THE Club for trips!

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 _________________ RCCGB - THE Club for trips!

What about Megafobia at Oakwood which I've not yet been on, but would like to at some point?
