walkingthedog Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The club is being officially launched on the 23rd at the Scottish MRE. I haven’t had an email but have had a letter. Maybe they haven’t reached W yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantaylor501 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 dont think the new club is really to the standard that it was we dont even get a 10% discount online now also gone is the choice off a voucher instead off a loco .i think its going to cost alot off members as we are now getting things cheaper at our model shops ,im not one for complaining unnecessarily but i think i have a point.also gone is the choice off having an online membership . what exactly is the rewards card for ? i see very little incentive in rejoining .sorry im not trying to spoil others perspective off the club but cant see this being an improvement for members please take the criticism on board in a positive way .thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I am not rejoining. Don’t want the loco, do want 10% discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLuJo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I wont be rejoining either. The 'free' loco is no good to me but the 10% discount was. I dont need an H class so no incentive. I dont think Hornby know what market they are aiming at. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 There is only one 'market' Hornby are aimng at, that's us.........if the 10% discount for direct sales was viable they would continue with it but considering the cost of staff to handle the orders and payments, warehousing to hold stock, packaging and posting the overhead is too great.........better to turn stock around as soon as received from China to the retailers and for them to discount to us which they normally do, usually around 15%........so better all round for Hornby reducing their overhead and us for larger discounts..........I joined the 'Club' for the loco (present for g/son) and magazine..........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Enjoy HB. Think I might have joined if it had been a different club loco. Already have an 'H'. I would still rather have a £10 voucher than the 0-4-0 loco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 What do you think of the new Club, RDS? The same as the old one, better, worse? GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 What do you think of the new Club, RDS? The same as the old one, better, worse? GNR-Gordon-4I think that might be a better question asked in a years time Jacob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I agree with you! I am unsure to be honest, why I asked it! ☹️ 😆 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Good point, but what if you want the magazine but don’t want to be a member or would they need two versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 OK I see what you are saying now. I didn’t think Hornby had any problems writing and delivering the club magazine in the the past. Everything seemed to run very smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 They made a complete pigs ear of relaunching the club I agree.Sorry for being extra dim today I forgot you are in Canada. Yes it would be a good idea for Hornby mag to send the club literature to overseas members. Don’t hold your breath though. I haven’t rejoined, don’t really see the point. Certainly don’t want the free loco and the exclusive is not for me. I think it is a great shame they dropped the club discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slornie Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The quality of the club magazine has greatly improved over the past year or so, and I think the most recent two issues were produced by a brand new editing and writing team as well.

walkingthedog Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I don’t think you are missing much LongDistance. I only joined a couple of years ago and apart from the club discount found it to be a waste of time. When they say that the advantages of joining are a membership card and ......wait for it.....a badge.....well say no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 When they say that the advantages of joining are a membership card and ......wait for it.....a badge.....well say no more. Sorry WTD, but your sarcasm here is making me cry with laughter! I love the way you said "...wait for it...a badge...well say no more". 😆 Thank you for your entertainment. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 @LongDistance Same with me and everybody else on this forum, LongDistance. We all have many locomotives and rolling stock from Hornby and yet Hornby have zero interest in any of us. @RDS Oh, yeah. I forgot about that message. 2014 was when I cancelled my membership. Why did that message ever come up, when one logged in? GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
