Pagoda World 32
« on: February 24, 2023, 23:22:13 »
Pagoda World 32 is being put in the mail today, 24 February, for the US members. The International mailing will go out on Monday, 27 February.

As has been noted on the forum, the magazine is being printed and mailed by a new outfit, Southport Graphics, the same group that printed the Pagoda World books. They are using a new process and mailing.

You will also find two complimentary Pagoda Group logo embroidered patches included.

Just another benefit of being a full member. Every now and then an "S&D" or "surprise & delight".

The embroidered patches are BEAUTIFUL. They measure 70MM across, about 2.75". They have an exceedingly high thread count, and also have an iron-on backing. Just a medium hot (no steam) iron is sufficient to fuse the patch to a shirt, hat or similar. Or, you can stitch them on. Every member gets two; up to you on how to use them!

Any other club might charge USD $5 or $10 each. For those members who were full members at the time of Issue #32's mailing list being generated a couple of weeks ago, our gift to you.

#32 came yesterday but I was packing and loading the TF to bring it back to the mountains after its Florida trip, so couldn't open the envelope until today.  Great cover shot, possible the best ever!  My brother took us out for a ride on the beach south of St. Augustine just a couple of weeks ago, so it was very timely.  Lucy already has designs on the patches, I'll have to wait and see what she produces . . .

My copy arrived today. It’s taken less than a week according to the Frank on the envelope. Thanks too for the badges, a small act of kindness like this tells me this is a great group to be a part of.

Received mine yesterday in NJ. Patches are nice. Now I have to find a decent T shirt or hat to put them on.

Thank you for the surprise.

I live 10 minutes from the PW printer, and they are 5 minutes from the post office here in North Carolina.  How members in California or Germany can get a PW issue before me is mind boggling !!! 

Somethngs you just can not explain.

I order DVDs from an outfit called "Acorn" quite often. These are shows that air on BBC and PBS here. The warehouse is in Hudson, OH. It is about 25min with the car from where I live. One time it took 2 weeks to get my order. I tracked the package going to Columbus, Michigan and then to Cleveland and to me. I don't know if it is the USPS or what is behind that.... ::)

Mine arrived yesterday (March 8, 2023) in Quebec, Canada.  I love the magazine and especially the patches.  I'll put one on a silver windbreaker (to cover the adidas logo) and the other on my generic Pebble Beach style sun hat.  Thanks much.
