Free wagon!!!!!

Post by steamyjim » Mon Sep 01, 2008 4:12 pm

The 16mm association are giving a free wagon to every junior member (adult members get detailing parts). I got the letter today so shall send off for it soon :D

Anyone else a junior member? Would be good to 'see your wagons' when there done :lol:

Myself included, I'd be interested to know what the detailing parts are. Seems the membership is paying for itself :lol: .

Darn it, Why couldn't they have done this last year when I was still a junior member! Looking forward to seeing what this is all about though, I could do with some detailing parts :lol:

I had a look on the website, and it says that under 18's are on a different subscription price to the adults, so I'm assuming that it's under 18's.

Who's supplying these wagons, and when are we getting them?

We had a chuckle about that earlier!! Sorry mate, but at least we get some detailng bits. Wonder what they'll be!?! Cecil got his letter today, which is funny just over a week after his 18th!! The letter is quite funny!

To be eligible for the free wagon kit, you had to be under 18 on 1st March 2008, and obviously be a member of the Association 0f 16mmngm.

Lets hope the detailing parts aren't just nastly little white metal buckets that look more like they were cast using 16mm scale seaside buckets and spades!

:P

The utter tosh in this topic has been split and deleted, my apollogies for my childishness, was only trying to get my point accros, if you wish to adjust the timming, start another topic please. Lets get back to the topic of our own individual garden toys, and these free wagons we're looking forawrd to!

I reckon the detailing bits letter will be sent out at a later date, they probably want to get us building the wagons in time for Stoneleigh.
