The Calrailfans people posted the notice this morning and it's the first I have heard of it. Just glad to know we were all wrong that it wouldn't be a train theme. I have to admit that because I request 7 copies for myself and friends, I have in the last few years gone to the manager and explained why etc and also toss in the fact that my father-in-law was one of the original investors and blah blah blah. I have also been known to skulk
around and look for a counter with an unwatched pile of them and just take them and walk out. :-) This coupon club gimmick is new so things may be changed and there won't be piles on the counters and the managers might not be so willing to just hand them over.
