Got mine today.  Interesting how that works when you live 10 minutes from printer and post office from where it was sent.

Thank you Jonny for giving us the "Heads up."  That simple notification is appreciated as we all look forward to the latest Pagoda World. 

Mine was received today and as they say "no good deed goes unpunished"- it arrived, but the mailman chose to bend in half to slip into my mailbox slot instead of opening the box door?

A little folded, but luckily it didn't affect the magazine contents.  Well done, and I enjoyed looking at each name to see how many I recognized (sorry to let the cat out of the bag for those who haven't received it yet.)

Loved the Chicago road trip (esp the Audi driver). But such a shame it was so quick.

Mine arrived (in Georgia) last week and I just now had a chance to read it. What a great edition! The Members' Recollections and Reminisces section was outstanding! I especially liked Aslam's article - reminded me of my young and adventurious years.
Thanks to Mike, Jon, Jonny and everyone for their time and work.

I suspect with that, Peter, our mailing issues caused by mail services is now behind us. Most of these to non-USA destinations have arrived quickly.

Hi Mike, I hope I am not the bad penny....I moved to Guernsey from the UK, and updated my address on my profile some months ago, but it has not yet arrived at either my Guernsey or UK address.

Will post when / if it pitches up.

I also had a problem with a previous issue, but was unable to get it sent with all the others (the reason escapes me now).

As far as I know I am up to date with my subscription  :)

Andrew,

Just check your address in your membership.  If the listing in the forum is derived from that, yours may be incorrect.  See yours relative to others.  What is "Guernsey, Forest,"?  No idea what country that is in, and the country is posted for everyone else.

Oh, Guernsey IS a country.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernsey

I guess it is all about proximity or perspective or something.  When I saw your location, I first thought of this place, since it is near me and I have relatives that live there:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guernsey_County,_Ohio

I didn't think you meant Ohio USA, but I didn't know about the islands near France in the channel.  Sounds like a really cool place to live!  Still, check your membership address.
