The Calendars have arrived!

Two full weeks after they went into production with the printers the calendars have finally arrived. They look great and now Mark and the volunteers are working as fast as they can to get them all enveloped and posted by the First Class post deadline.

Of course it was not our intention for it be this way. We fully expected to have them by 13 Dec so that we could send them second class. But problems in design delayed this process and then when the final design was signed off on 6 Dec it was only then that we found that we may have to wait until 16 or 17 Dec for delivery. That was still within the deadline of Second Class post but the weather would hamper that.

Then on Friday, when they had not arrived it seemed they were still on their way to us and would be with us by 21 Dec. And they were, in the nick of time. We have discovered a lot from this. Not least that we will produce our calendar much earlier in the year than this - and not rely on a company advertising that they would be with us 5-7 days. We will also not sell any of them on order without stock in hand. This had led many people to rightly question where their calendar is.

Now we hope Royal Mail can do their bit and delivery everything First Class by 24 Dec.
