We’re fast approaching Christmas, just four days to go as this post is published. We’ve spent the week ploughing through the sale orders, which came in a very big flurry in the last couple of days of the promotion. We’re taking today to get all of the ones finished so far in the post, as well as a few admin tasks – it’s the end of the year, so salaries need paying, taxes settling up, accounts updated etc. As things stand, pretty much all of the orders that arrived up to and including Saturday 16th have been processed and were posted this morning – hopefully all the UK ones will reach their destination by Christmas Day, although obviously overseas customers will have to wait a little longer. We’ll also be in the workshop tomorrow trying to get a few more done, which will be posted on Saturday, but there are too many orders remaining to hope to get them all done this week. As always, we’ll be taking a well-earned rest for the period between Christmas and New Year, so any remaining outstanding orders will be dealt with as quickly as possible when we return on January 2nd. The website will still be open for new orders, but they also won’t be dealt with until the New Year.<\/p>\n

We have some festive good news as well about our Surgeon General<\/a> range. If you haven’t come across it, this is a small set of medically-themed models which we use to raise money for charity. Sales have been pretty good across the range this year, and it has allowed us to donate a further \u00a3150 to Macmillan Cancer Support<\/a>. That makes \u00a3350 in total now, which is a brilliant result, so thank you to everyone that has bought anything from the Surgeon General this year. We’re looking to add a few more new items to the range in 2024.<\/p>\n
