Who65 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi, does Hornby send out a Christmas card out to club members? I am a member of Bachmann too, and they send out a Christmas card, which I think it a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Who65, welcome to the Hornby Forum. 😀 I don't believe Hornby do. I have never had one from them when I was in the club. I have been in the Bachmann Collectors Club since around 2011, I think and I am sure they sent a card every year to me. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Why would you want a card.2% Xmas reduction, of more use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 What a waste of money sending members a card. Misuse of funds. I don’t get one from my bank or the National Trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 We get a Seasons Greetings card from the Notary in our village every year. By the time we get back in the New Year it is usually a soggy mass in the bottom of our unsealable outside postbox..We have tried to say please don’t send us one, give the money to charity but every year it is still there looking all sad.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynax Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I don't give christmas cards, what i do is cut an a4 sheet of paper in to 3, then fold each piece in half, and write Merry Christmas on the front, sometimes if i'm feeling creative i will use different coloured pens, and i have used glitter pens in the past for a bit of extra sparkle, and if i post them, i tape the open edge together, then write the address on the back and add a stamp, no need for an envelope that way, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Gosh, if only. just cost me £30, for postage of cards etc.. Would never get away with suggesting we stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 We received a card yesterday from some old friends who said they hoped we wouldn’t be offended but it was the last card they would send. In future they are going to make a donation to charity. SWMBO said she wished she’d thought of that. I said I'd been suggesting that for ages.

Yelrow Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Heathers old boss, did the same. She was not amused. She really looks forward to receiving our cards and letters contained therein, every year. As i wish to continue, being married, i fully support her views.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think Bachmann sending out cards is a waste pf paper / carboard and ink. All it does is another for the recycling bin for me and most people (Probably). GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howbi Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I seem to be in a minority as I don't have a SWMBO..........my 56 year marriage has been very democratic and I can buy what I want without argument........ 😎...........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The signatures inside of the card that comes every year are the same singantures in the same place, plus they are not hand signed. As they are signatures, well let's be honest, signatures are more or less their own language. Most are illegible and I couldn't tell the names it supposed to say and even if I could tell what it said, I wouldn't know who those people are! 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Same here HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I never mentioned SWMBO, nor did i say that i had to discuss, what i buy. I dont buy the xmas cards, but i do pay the postage. What i dont do, is take on battles i know to be unfair. Moving here, has left Heather a tad isolated, and her cards both from and to, are her way, of keeping in touch, with old colleagues and friends, she no longer sees. Twould be very mean to interfere with that, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 My wife SWDNRNTBO buys what she wants as do I. Must admit she loves getting Christmas cards but more importantly birthday cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulleidboy Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Our cards (the first batch) went out on Monday, second lot today. It's nice to receive cards. It's when you decide to leave someone off the list - and then their card arrives - panic posting! I have a Jacqui Lawson account, so a few "overseas" friends get one of those. There actually good value for money, as you can send cards for all number of occasions throughout the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 First batch? You make it sound like you are running an card factory, or have a business of sending cards to people! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 We send in two batches Jacob. Three if you incude a couple to overseas destinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 It's just makes me laugh when the word 'batch' or 'batches' is used. It sounds like a business is running behind it, or something similar. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
