Notes from the Sales Officer 
Sales have remained very heavy throughout the summer which has again 
resulted in some delays for which we apologise. It has also meant 
that our stocks of certain items have been exhausted and we have 
experienced considerable delays (usually beyond our control) in 
restocking. Again your patience is requested.

Sandgrouse 1 is out of print but will continue to appear on our 
sales list. If there is sufficient demand for it Council may 
consider reprinting it. Requests for availability will be treated 
sympathetically but no guarantee can be given even of a photocopy. 
Money should not be sent until availability has been confirmed.
