From Ted Brown, Chairman of the Association of Musical Box Collectors
(AMBC).
Our membership year starts on 1st March. For the fifth successive year
we have kept our membership subscription the same. This is despite the
increase in postage costs, which we have been able to absorb thanks to
the efforts of our committee who work voluntarily.
Also, visit our new website at https://www.ambc.org.uk/ Here you will
find an easy way to pay your subscriptions. If you have any trouble,
email the treasurer, bellamypaul@btinternet.com.geentroep [delete
".geentroep" to reply].
The website shows the covers of all our past Journals. Just click on
the journal cover and you will get a list of its contents and a summary
of the articles. Past issues are available for just £3 plus P&P from
me and Paul.
Our latest Issue 31 has a centrefold which can be removed as the 1st
appendix to our last book: The Cylinder Musical Box, Tune Sheets,
Makers, Agents and Dates. The book is almost sold out but copies may
still be available from Nancy Fratti (MBSI) and Paul. Back copies of
Issue 31 and other Issues are also available at £3 plus P&P.
Sadly, Chris Fynes, who helped maintain our website and did much of our
journal's artwork, passed away peacefully in January. In recognition of
his work we still have copies of his outstanding CD of snuffbox music
for sale, all proceeds of which will go in support of cancer charities:
£5 plus P&P. Contact me [below] or Treasurer Paul Bellamy on email at
bellamypaul@btinternet.com.geentroep [delete ".geentroep" to reply].
