1963rich Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looks like no discount now that's why I would visit the hornby shop on a regular basis not sure how often I'll go there now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looks like? More than looks like when you go to how to join on here and discount is not in the list of club benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainlover23 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Discount was never a automatic perk it was at the discretion of the individual retailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 True, but it was automatic on the Hornby online shop (10%) and at the Hornby Visitor Centre, which @1963rich was referring to, where it was 20% - very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainlover23 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Discount is not the only reason to join a club or society surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Maybe not.... But it coukd be a good incentive! Personally, I have joined the new version of the club mainly for the magazine.....the "free" loco is definately not a major attraction, how many GWR 101s can you have? (There was only really the one!) Wagons are a bit more attractive actually! 😉 Talking about magazines....how long should it take from paying the fee to the delivery of the first mag???? It seems to be taking a long time...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963rich Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 yes i joined the new club and yes the discounts were one reason i joined the first time its been a big help and i feel it helps the hornby visitor center keep going withmore people going and buying there i now look more on line to purchase at the best price i can find such a shame and a bit short sighted of hornby but the other things are great although im still waiting for the rest of the new items of the new club as i only have my members club card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 ... as I only have my members club card I don't have anything yet, other than the annoying splash reminder across my screen when I log onto the Forum, which is many times a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Still nothing here either.... 😢 Though I could download the stuff....I prefer the "proper" paperwork! 😉 Printing out a magazine is a big no-no....too much ink and paper use! (and we have already paid..... 😉 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Further to my last post on this. Today my Memebershio card arrived, together with the "welcome" letter. It seems that the first magazine will come out in April this year. We are getting there... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Owner Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Strangly, although my VIP message on the website stopped mentioning discount, I have been sent an email with a discount code.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffnut Thorston Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I have just had a look at the Club VIP Download secton. Someone needs to update the "Welcome Letter" in the Download section,,,, It seems to be for the "old" verson of the Club! 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordi_q Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Some one needs to email Adam or the Club and point this out so it can be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margate LMS Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Very disapointed to find that the 20% discount at the visitor center has now gone to be replaced by a GWR loco that I don't need or want. I run LMS loco's and particularly the Coronation class and with new ones coming out this year the discount is very attractive and the number one reason for me to join the club. Please go back to the discount instead of the 'free gift' - or at least make it a choice for members when renewing - loco or discount......

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 It is a shame that Collectors Club members cannot get discount at Hornby's website and at the Margate store. One pay's 30 odd pounds to be a member of the club and I feel that some form of discount is required to make the membership wirht it. A member should pay little bit less for Hornby products, sold by Hornby Hobbies themselves. The members pay to be a member, so they should get a form discount to as a sort of "thank you", for being a member. Even if the discount is as little as 5%, it is better than nothing and of course will encourage more people to sign up to the Collectors Club, who are not already members.

Cat Whisperer Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 /media/tinymce_upload/1da92498234c338e27b7c95cfc07bb35.pngWas wondering when the Summer 2018 mag was going to be sent out. A few weeks ago I contacted Hornby's club service and heard nothing at all from them, which is pretty poor customer service.Logged in only to find a less than helpful message: "You are currently not part of any clubs".So for giving Hornby my £28 all I have is a plastic membership card and one magazine.Was looking forward to the little engine so more than a little disapointed.

RDS Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 ... for giving Hornby my £28 all I have is a plastic membership card and one magazine ... Something is not right there. I joined this year and I now have a membership card, 2 magazines and a 2018 Collectors badge. Also, (which is a bit annoying for me logging in as often as we do), I receive a pop up message reminding me I am a member)I suggest contacting Hornby Customer Services with details of your membership number.

james_nelmes Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I've just renewed and wanted to make a few points. I am still getting the 10% club members discount despite it not being advertised as part of the package. If you really don't want the loco, you don't have to join. The real benefit of the free loco (as in previous years), is helping to build the collection for people who are newer to model railways, and especially younger people who may have got their first train set. The magazine has got much better and is now a good and varied read. Key for me, is Hornby getting back to profitability and introducing new tooling and models, and the collectors club is obviously a part of their marketing strategy. For four magazines and a loco, £28 plus delivery (£4.95), is good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Well, James, I must have joined a different Hornby Club because I certainly don't get the 10% club discount and also I did not pay £4.95 delivery charge.......... 😀...........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 If you sign-in on this site and go to the shop - any item you clicked onto used to show the discounted price - as a Club member. It doesn't happen now.I have the Club Ltd Edition Wainwright loco on order, and there is no charge for delivery - this is not the "free" loco - if only!Just checked - it's free p&p on all orders over £30.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_nelmes Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just checked and I am still being offered the 10% discount but my old membership expires tomorrow so it may disappear after then. Most definately got charged for delivery of the model which is now officially delayed until January 2019 although they said they are trying to bring this forward.
