New 2012 Books:
For new members and those who missed the
announcement last month two new 2012 books have
been released and selling fast. The Wagon Book is
updated to the 1 st October 2011 and has one new
helpful feature in that wagons known to be stored are
shown with the suffix (s). The Name Directory last
published in 2010 is updated to the 10 th November
and has been reworked to iron out the issues with
advertising names and therefore better than ever.
Duplicate numbers in Part 2 have also been removed.
As it is the only such up to date book on the market it
is an invaluable reference source and one used
regularly by the editor. Full prices etc are shown on
the rear cover. Order your copies now via PayPal or
from Carl by post.
As promised the eagerly awaited 2012 Combine is
now available. Prices are £12.00 (members), £15.99
(non-members). It is 264 pages long and updated to
1 st January 2012. Order details on rear cover.
The next new book will be the 2012 Pocket Book at
the start of March. Prices are £7.00 (members), £9.50
(non-members).

Payment / Renewal: If paying by cheque / postal order, please make payable to ICRS. Please note
we cannot accept credit card payments over the telephone, however you can pay by credit card
through our online PayPal facility. In a few clicks you can be signed up for another year, or take
advantage of the 5-year subscription, which not only saves you £5 but potentially beats any
subscription rises in that time. Select ‘Join ICRS’ from the menu on the homepage at icrs.org.uk
Please provide your first name whether joining or renewing and your email. If you renew at the very
end of or in the first week of the month you may receive a renewal reminder form but do not worry as
the admin process will naturally see things cross in the post. Please ignore the reminder if you have
renewed. Please also note that cheques are not presented to the bank until usually the first week of
the following month. Where possible please note that renewal / reminder forms will now be emailed.
For those members without email, forms will still be posted but please return them promptly as it is
costly to send reminders. All renewals whether online or by post will be acknowledged by email where
possible.
NB. When using PayPal, please remember to provide your home address and email via the comments
box, but ONLY if different from the one used ie you may use your partners account or do it from work.
Also use the comments box if buying or renewing a subscription for someone else.
