Membership Number

My brain is always looking for patterns, but I’m struggling with this

A number of the moderators have so many cards from the various boxes over the years. Not only can you join via this forum but you can join on the club stand at the NEC or maybe at POL and at any National meet. I cannot always attend all these meets so the other moderators need to have a separate supply of cards. They also have a separate selection of club stock.

Prior to the NEC show I meet up with Reebs at Sparkford motor museum and I transfer a selection of stock over to him. In return I get 50 of next years calendar. A record of the stock transferred is kept by me and I supply a duplicate copy to Reebs. In that supply of stock Reebs might request a top up of membership cards.

So the actual membership numbers will not run as planned. The membership cards come in plain white boxes, we have no idea what the numbers are till we open the box. I have so far not opened any new boxes.

Thanks for that, Bob.

It’s starting to make sense now
