Membership - What do / should you actually receive?

[DMS]

Apologies if this has been asked before but...

 

I returned to the fold a year ago and received a few printed issues of WW as a welcome pack - but nothing at all after that other than a PDF link to the winter issue and the 2025 calendar. I thought I had the "posted printed" membership but I am left wondering.

 

I now need to renew but am not sure whether to go with printed or electronic. Has something gone awry with my membership and I should have received more?

 

I've tried to query this with MemSec but not had any response.

I have access to some things and have looked at the mailing lists for Autumn and Winter 2024, and Spring 2025 - you were on all of those mailing lists so they were posted to you.  The odds are that the address in your profile is correct, but it's worth checking it to be sure.

 

The vast majority of lost magazines and calendars seem to come from deliveries outside the control of Royal Fail, ie. off the UK mainland - make of that what you will.

 

(As an aside, my sister-in-law worked for Jersey Mail and I would not hesitate to blame that "individual" for any failings of the post on the island.)

 

While it's completely outside the club's control (or mine), I'm sorry for the issues you've had.  My personal (non-club) recommendation is while the post outside Royal Fail is so seemingly unreliable, and if I were in your position (which I will never be as I won't live on the same island as her - rant over), I would opt for electronic magazine membership from the Store at £35 p.a. and hope the calendar gets past my sister-in-law.

Thanks, @Captain Colonial. Our post seems generally OK so it's almost as though Jersey Post is deliberately targetting WSCC stuff! Must admit, I'm very intrigued as to the identity of your sister-in-law. Jersey is sufficiently small that our paths may well have crossed...

 

As suggested, I've gone with the electronic membership this time around.

If you look towards the southwest corner of the island and see something akin to The Eye Of Sauron over a house, you’ve found her.
