BVWS Trader Sheet CD
Mine runs out at 0800. Others say they are reading from higher numbered sheets. What am I doing wrong?
TIA |

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
There are 3 discs. The first one (orange label) is 1-800, the second (yellow) 801-1600 and the third (blue) 1601-1999. The third disc also has copies of 405 alive magazine.

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
Hi Dave,
there are 3 BVWS CD's with trader sheets, 0-800, 801-1600, and 1601-1900. Pete Beaten to it! Last edited by DangerMan; 5th Jun 2011 at 8:15 pm. Reason: pipped at the post |

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
Ah right . I installed the cd and then quickly put it all safely away so it wouldn't be damaged. I must have only installed 1 cd. I'll go through the BVWS stuff to make sure I have the others.
Thanks |

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
Mine's definitely orange. Are you sure yours is an original?

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
Unless the BVWS is pirating its own cd then yes as it came direct from them - lol. It is white and dated 1999 and stamped 'copyright ERT magazines'. It did seem a bit odd to me but there are no other cd's than these in the packet that came direct from BVWS. I wouldn't have got it when it was issued though as I only joined last year so maybe that is all they had at the time?
It is also marked 'Issued free with BVWS 1999 Christmas' |

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
The first BVWS CD (Trader 1-800) had a high failure rate due to poor pressing. This was discovered after a number of complaints. As a result it has always been in short supply. I believe that a number of extra copies were made using CDR. This may account for 2 different versions.

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
Ahhh, should I have got all three in the new members pack I received after joining at Harpenden? I've cussed the lack of anything over 1600 a few times already.

Once the stocks of the other CDs also run down we will probably do a DVD-R of the content of all four, because it is cheaper and quicker than making four CDs. Should have got 4 I think. The fourth contains the first 20 years of BVWS bulletins as PDFs. Contact Graham (membership secretary) if you are missing any. |

I'm a member. Have been for more than a quarter of a century (sounds better than "25 years!")

Re: BVWS Trader Sheet CD
In that case you should have them, they were sent out with the Bulletins when they were first produced. Contact the membership secretary if you think you never received them.

Their web-site doesn't make this clear and I'd wondered if they were Christmas presents to members so if you weren't a member that year you wouldn't get that disc. I'd been thinking of contacting Jeffrey about it but this has saved my needing to and is having to reply. I haven't joined before as £25 for just the Bulletin didn't seem like very good value to me as I can't get to events so wouldn't get anything out of those. Perhaps they'd get more members if the benefits were made clearer. All the best - Joe |

I notice in the latest bulletin (in response to a question from the floor at the 2011 AGM) that publishing the Bulletin archive on DVD is being considered for 2012 - presumably incorporating the contents of the CD mentioned by Paul.
