Dale Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 As some of you may know, our President Derek Pollock has written a book entitled; RBRR the first 50 years. We have been busy behind the scenes editing, proof reading and selecting suitable pics to go along with his words. The last chapter to have been written concerns this year's 50th anniversary run and could not, therefore, be written prior to the 2016 event. This has now been done and the book is now in final proofing with an expected publication date of around December 1st. It will be available through Club Shop at £10 + £3.50 p7p if reqd. At 140 pages with some completely unique photos it represents the perfect stocking filler this Xmas, so don't miss out order yours as soon as poss to avoid disappointment. The cost of the book should produce a small surplus if we can sell them all which will further swell the record holding charity coffers too! Win-win eh?

32valves Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Can I reserve a copy now ? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I have no idea but I guess you could ask Tina or Andy Lacey who run the Club Shop. I only do the writey/editey stuff, they don't let me near the selly/money side of things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Can we buy more than one do you know? How many are being printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 You can buy as many as you like! Proceeds (if any) go to our charity fund and Club fund - 50% each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6boy Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 What an excellent idea! Silly question but I presume its open to non-members to purchase? I'd be happy to await the initial rush of CT members before my transaction goes through, if nescessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltddirk Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Excellent news and just in time for Xmas,now only make sure my SWMBO reads this postingLOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Ellis did tell me earlier in the year that I've won a copy from a guess the number of competition at the club dinner last year, can't even remember what I guessed I think it may have been time of something? I was probably a little the worse for wear at the time but it didn't cloud either my judgement or maybe perhaps just a lucky guess!But really looking forward to getting my copy when it's published anyway.

Dale Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Quoted from GT6boy What an excellent idea! Silly question but I presume its open to non-members to purchase? I'd be happy to await the initial rush of CT members before my transaction goes through, if nescessary The initial print run is for 1000 copies and as far as I'm concerned it's very much first come first served, member or non-member. If we sell out quickly we can always order more if it looks likely that they will sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 With 4 days left before the book has to be sent to print the 'ed' team are now into final, final, proofed, revised edited final version 4.3 (no joke - you should see my inbox - no euphemism intended). I will be buying at least half a dozen copies of this riveting book - though I say it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Lightweight! I've bought 10 so far!I believe El Pres may be present for a 'signing' at the NL&H Area Xmas dinner and also the CT Annual Dinner for anyone interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 You rightly "believe" he might be signing, but he will have to be "bribed" to do so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 Looks like the bribing worked out well then! Three weeks in and 15% sold - not bad. Just a quick reminder that these are available through Club Shop @ £10 + £3.50 p&p (not P & P, that's a CT Area!) shop@club.triumph.org.uk full details in the mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
