As you may have read in the latest magazine, we have been looking into alternative methods of distributing the magazine.  The cost of hard copies of the magazine is steadily increasing but we can potentially save a few quid, and possibly become a little more environmentally friendly, by distributing copies of the magazine electronically.

If you are happy to receive a "pdf" copy of the magazine electronically, could you please message our membership secretary (Forum name alanrichey) so he can note it on the member database and future magazines will then be sent directly to your email address.

I know that some of you will prefer a paper copy and that's fine - we will continue producing hard copies for the foreseeable future, for any members who don't want to go electronic.

If you have any questions or comments let me know.

Thanks,  Steve

We now welcome the Exmo to the 'Useful Sites' list of dedicated pages for each model, joining the Superspec, Series III/IIIA and 2B/2b+.

I'm grateful to Jan (sparepart) for the work he has done in setting up this page as he continues to add more information.   If any other Exmo owner feels they can contribute please contact him.

Meanwhile I am still waiting for a volunteer to do pages for the Series 6, Series 7 and LIghweight.   Any one ?

Cheers

It is time for our first meeting of the year at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH2 3RJ, Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Hi everyone

We have always encouraged members and guests to ask questions on the forum, and invariably several members will offer suggestions.   However I have recently seen aome questions that I happen to know have already been answered.   It really is good practice in any support forum to do some research before you post a question.

Under "Useful Sites" on the blue banner you will find specific pages for 2B, Series III/IIIa and Superspec models  that cover known problems (The Exmo page is under construction and I am still waiting for volunteers to buile pages fopr the Lightweight, GBS Zero or any other models).

Also the Search tool is very powerful tool, but you have to use it properly.  For example, when I was worried about my clutch rattle I did a search for Superspec clutch. I get 6000 hits, which is no help at all.  The reason, of course, is that it is looking for any post containing the word Superspec or the word Clutch .  But when I seached for "Superspec Clutch" (enclosed in quotes)  I got only 23 hits which were easier to read in full.  As it happened, they solving my problem.

Hope that helps

Meet up from 7PM onwards and aiming to eat around 7-30.

I like to give the pub a rough headcount in a couple of week's time and then give them a more exact numbers a few days before the event so if interested parties can pencil it in their diary and let me know as soon as possible please.

Everyone welcome (including ladies and kids) and new members (or those thinking of joining) are especially welcome.
