Club Shop report August 2026
Ahhhhh,,, thats better!!!! The weather cools down and the sales go up!!!!
Yes we have recovered somewhat this month in the shop and just had a great time at Shildon where pockets were duly emptied of all loose cash!!! Thanks to Val for organising this gig and keeping us all in our places!!!!!
Turn over for the month was 904.08 with a net of 858.33 going to the bank after postage and fees.
Andrew has produced another 5 tool sets and 10 connection leads to keep us afloat.
I am reviewing AC ModelSpares stocklist to see what we should purchase from them to improve our stock situation on Hornby spare parts. Some items have now run out completely here and they do not even have replacments to sell us.
In particular the Loco to Tender Steam Pipe, (part X9199). It will be a silicone tube replacement only on these from now on until further notice!
We are heading back into the show season so hopefully we will pick up some trade along the way.
Statfold in 2 weeks so sharpen your elbows. Soon be time for long johns!!!!
