356 Registry Mag

Why does the club mag now get sent to the UK from Zurich in Switzerland? not the States!

That's where all the ex-trustees' secret bank accounts are.

[Mike Wilson]

Good one, Vic!

[C J Murray]

He's not kidding!

[Vic Skirmants]

OK, Cliff; I'm protesting your car!

[C J Murray]

Good, I can use the money.

Hi John
We have a new printing company and they have more capabilities than our previous printer. All future issues will utilize co-mailing, where they truck the periodical mail to specific geographical areas, along with other magazines, then insert in the mail stream. I am not sure what this means as far as the postmarks and certainly they are not being trucked to Europe but there is some system( on your end) where they go in bulk and are then further dispersed/ distributed. The uptake on this is the printers capability to sort and "stack" at time of printing yields in easier distribution for the guys that put it in your box and results in shorter delivery time at the same or lesser cost to the club. Gordon gets the credit for facilitating this improvement.

Most international mailers (our current and previous included) send large mailings, such as the Registry, to a couple of sorting locations abroad. This is much like the domestic process for similar items. In Mr. Clarke's case, the bags went to Zurich and then to the UK. I don't know how this process will work once Britain's exit from the EU is complete. My guess is that there will be some changes or delays.

Canada magazines go directly to Canada Poste, which then distributes them. I don't know about Mexico.

I always wondered why my issue was stamped out of Brussels (? - can't remember exactly; it has been 18 mths since i was back in AU!)
Mystery solved.
