10% discount

Hi , do you still get the10% discount at your local Hornby toy shop, l found this an attractive part of the club membership.

I have the same question. Do we still qualfiy for 10% discount at some Hornby concessions? I'm sure I read it somewhere on a page here on the web site, which included the Hornby shop at Swindon and various others. 

Thanks for anyone that can direct to the page!

I knew that posting the question would mean finding the information immediately :)

There is a page detailing the retailers that will give discount. I'm in the Airfix club but there is probably one for Hornby too.

 The 10% discount was always at the discretion of the shop owner and not a god given right. Given that most shops operated under the RRP at a substantial discount and therefore could not discount any further giving didcount to club members could break a few.

It was never an official maufacturer's discount but my local retail model railway outlet "The Model Shop" in Northampton used to give their own discount of about 15% off the RRP of any make of loco. They have more recently had to reduce that to more like the Hornby 10% discount because of squeezed profit margins. However, they still compete with the Hornby discount, so I still use them for new locos.

Yes Hornby have to post a statement about this issue for retailers. Some give you the full 10% on any thing and another told me that it only covered buying track. I have had one retailer also say no it doesn't apply, but I'll give you a 5% discount off any Hornby RRP item at my disgression. Others model shops decline it all together and offer you nothing. So please Hornby settle this issue with model retailers, and inform them and us membership holders as to what we can or cannot buy. Also have a page on the website to retailers in the club areas as proof that anyone that has a membership card is allowed the 10% discount across the range of stock in the various clubs.
