Steve, thanks for the dit shipmate, you make a valid point and not unexpected to be honest. I fully understand some of our shipmates may wish to get the pins/cuff links earlier than May 2014, and of course not all will or can come along to the next reunion. So, I would be more than happy for those that would like to get an early delivery of the pins etc to contact me directly by email stating requirements and then I can agree on a case by case basis re postage and payment. I hope this helps. Great to learn the new items meet with wide approval. Yours Aye - Chairman
