I wonder if a lot of this can be avoided by not having subscriptions or any accounts at all. We manage perfectly well so far with everyone handling their own transport costs, and organising venues based on contributions on the day. Jason J Railton (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Hi all After seeing the incredible price that Jon just raised for 8 Clone Troopers, I only hope there's a bin full of the little buggers in Lego Heaven at the Red Letter day. Coz I'll take a kilo! Cheers Mark (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
