CORRESPONDENCE TO CLUB OFFICERS
- New Postal Regulations
Members are requested to ensure that all letters to club officials have
been prepaid with the correct postage amount. Royal Mail now charges according
to weight and SIZE.
Any letter that exceeds Length: 240mm; Width:165mm; Thickness:5mm; Weight:
100g max; must have the higher rate of postage attached (LARGE LETTER).
Failure to adhere to this results in a wasteful visit to the sorting office
for the addressee, a financial penalty, and a delay in dealing with your
request. Also please ensure your letter is not too THICK as this again should
go as a LARGE LETTER. (A recent surcharge was for a tour booking with three
saes enclosed folded together exceeding 5mm thickness so £1.06 excess
had to be paid and the letter delayed four days).
Please check at any post office before sending any mail if there is any doubt that your mailing meets these requirements. Royal Mail is not allowing any tolerance outside these limits.
If your envelope is bigger than a Bulletin envelope treat
it as a LARGE LETTER and stamp it accordingly. (Both Adrian Palmer and Brian
Garvin have had to pay charges and make journeys to sorting offices to pick
this type of mail).
Bookings for tours must
be on an overseas tours booking form and may be sent in at any time to the
tour organiser whose name follows the tour details.
You can find an Overseas Tour Form here

All members are welcome on these tours but any friend or colleague who wishes
to take part must become a member of LCGB or pay a surcharge for temporary
membership.
Please send tour enquiries where no email address is given to Adrian Palmer
