The February mailing of SMT and Bulletin is scheduled for collection from Warners in Bourne later this week. The mailing will again be by Whistl, with the entire mailing to both UK and overseas members continuing to be collected at the same time. The mailing can be expected to begin arriving with members a few days after the collection date.

SMT and Bulletin will be available on our Members Site from 09:00 on Saturday 21st February. If you haven’t received an invitation to activate your account on the site, or can’t find it, please email members.site@16mm.org.uk providing your surname, membership number and post code and we’ll send an invitation as soon as we can.

This mailing for UK recipients this month includes the Annual Report and the National Garden Railway Show Prize Draw tickets, along with SMT and Bulletin. The Annual Report and prize draw tickets are not sent to overseas members, to minimise the package weight. The Annual Report will be published to our Members Site concurrent with SMT and Bulletin. If any overseas member requires a paper copy of the Annual Report, please contact me at membership@16mm.org.uk and we’ll make arrangements to send one to you.

Many thanks as always go to the editors for both magazines, Jonathan Mead for SMT and Harry Jones for Bulletin. Thanks to them for getting their magazines out on time. Also thanks to all the members who have contributed articles and reports to them. Your input is both welcome and valuable to the editors in being able to present interesting publications. I hope you enjoy reading what I’m sure will again be interesting and quality magazines.

Tom Rowland, Membership Secretary
