Newsletter - 2023-09-02

September, already! And all too soon it will be Christmas. In fact we are already working on how to celebrate this, so if you have any ideas, let us know. 

Likewise we are starting to see the branch and club calendars reaching their last few months, so please let us know as soon as you hear of any meeting dates for 2024. 

And finally, if you collect a theme that has a special centenarial anniversary in 2024, please let us know. Of course if you are reading this as a member of the Cartophilic Society why not write about it yourself, and send it to our editor, that it can be featured in our printed magazine? His e-mail is in the magazine. It does not have to be lengthy either, in fact some say that the true nature of a magazine is to be completely filled with tiny snippets by different people. So why not make 2024 the year that you start writing? 

This week I was off to a flying start, and then drifted, But I am still ahead, just. However there are some interesting cards this week, and I am surprisingly still managing to find cards that we have not used before. Long may that continue. 

So what, you may wonder, will we be celebrating this coming week - well we have a master of disguise in a disguise you would not have imagined on a very rare card indeed - a card which bears the actual date of the day it celebrates - a more modern player from a team founded at the very dawn of the sport - a man who was too briefly known by just three numbers, and two of those were zeroes - a very strange custom indeed - a tangent connecting two branches of collectables - and a very important day in football.

 

And there you have it, time runneth out, again; another week has passed by, and been recorded on our slates. I imagine the word on my slate is probably persistence, for I do keep going, despite the obstacles thrown in my way. And these newsletters are proof that I can manage to work around practically all of those. 

Anyway if you stayed awake to read this, well done. I stayed awake to make sure it loaded, and now I will listen to the motor racing or have a coffee, and try not to wake up buster because if I do he will have to go out in the garden, and it is currently raining.

It`s been a very rainy day today.
