I have a friend going to John O'Groats soon - the most northerly point of Mainland UK. The PO there are happy to do John O'Groats handstamped cancels for collectors. The following SCF members have put their name down for cachet covers, which my friend is kindly going to post at John O'Groats.
1.Lucky (she hasn't asked but I owe her some nice covers!)
2.Rohumpy
3.Jubilee
4.Marius
5.Smauggie
Offer closed Thursday, at midday forum time.
Your covers are now ready and should be posted next week, midweek.

Can I get in lane for the 4th one, please?
This would be the first item I receive from a SCF member :)
Thank you |

OK Smauggie, you are number 5.
I've decided to add one more, so last one is up for grabs, before Thursday midday forum time. |

OK Thanks to everyone who put their name down - you are my guinea-pigs for some cachets (Didn't tell you that before you volunteered, did I??!) I'll let you knwo by email when I have confirmation of their departure from John O'Groats.  |

Hey, well that confirms they were sent! Glad you liked it. I knew they were to be posted yesterday, but I hadn't heard anything from my friend. You're the first - everyone else is airmail.
Inside is a one-sheet letter with some info about John O'Groats, the stamps and the cachet. If you don't want to open the envelope, I'll email you the info instead! |

According to the John O'Groats Post Office blurb online, the cancellation is by Krag machine - a rare hand operated franking machine. |
