OCTOBER 2022 NEWSLETTER

HEADS UP ALL SUBSCRIBERS! Your Newsletter will be flying through the ether to your e-mail in box on Saturday 1st October. Mailchimp, for some unknown reason, has removed the option to select a delivery time and now randomly chooses its own. It’s picked 18.15 ….. so you can have a lie-in!!

Non-subscribers will find invitations to download this issue from all the usual outlets on Tuesday evening (4th October).

Hope you all enjoy the read.

Don’t forget that we’d like to see you all at Wigan Show this weekend. £12 pre-booked, £13.50 on the door.

HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II

As a mark of our profound respect, our Club will not be opening next Monday, 19th September.

We will each of us, I am sure, mourn the sad loss of the only monarch most of us have ever known and, will be reflecting on the selfless service she has given to this country, our Commonwealth of Nations and all those who share our values, hopes and aspirations for a better world as she is laid to rest.

She leaves behind her a grateful nation for all that she has given and achieved in her 70 years as our monarch and a legacy that will long be remembered.

May she rest in the peace she so richly deserves.

SEPTEMBER 2022 NEWSLETTER

Heads up all subscribers!

Your monthly Newsletter should be arriving in your e-mail ‘in box’ at 0600 hrs today!

If it’s not there, please check your ‘junk’ files because some e-mail servers just don’t recognise a good read when it’s sent completely free of charge …. where’s their cut? They simply think it’s too good to be true. We know it’s true, but Microsoft and others, who know the value of a buck, don’t! How do we tell them it’s not always about money? Simple! Just enter ‘Macclesfield Model Railway Group’ in your list of contacts or even list ‘MailChimp’ as a ‘trusted sender’ and that should cure any problems concerning ‘corporate redirection’. The ‘big guys’ will do their best to squeeze us for pennies but, as you well know know, our Newsletter is free and that will always be true!

Non subscribers, I’m sorry, will have to wait a few days – – subscribers have to have some benefits! Don’t fret, though. The Newsletter is still free and you will be able to download it from our web site, our FaceBook page and a host of other social media sites within the next few days. Around 1,000+ or so downloads every month, in far flung places around the world, from these outlets tell me that it’s well worth the wait!

You can help to make this Newsletter even better, though! You could tell us what you like or don’t like about it – that will help us to make the Newsletter more tailored to the interests of the people who read it. You could tell us about your hobby, what interests you have, your layout (if you have one), what projects you’ve been involved in, what interesting places you’ve visited, where in this vast and varied planet your railway intersts lie …………………. It’s not my Newsletter, it’s not MMRG’s Newsletter.

It’s yours!

There is a ‘gold star’ awarded to very new contributor – not the most coveted of accolades I’ll admit – but it is a recognition of the effort you have made on behalf of fellow railway (railroad) modellers!
