The books are in the hands of the two clubs judging chairman. It is my understanding that the books are "done" except for the the final approval from the two chairs. If one does not like what is presented the other must agree as well. I hope I'm wrong but this back and forth can take a while. Is it a desire to get it done right of a desire to have the last word? I don't know.

Wait until the Christmas package mailing rush is over.
That way there's less chance of them being lost in the mail.

I talked to the MAFCA office Wednesday and the lady told me they are still at the printer and are expected " any time now." She also said the printer has been saying this for weeks. Her guestimate was within a month. It will make good reading during a snow storm I guess.

I checked Mafca web site yesterday and the message there was posted on Nov 29 that they were still at the printers awaiting the start of the production run. Not too likely any large quantity are at either club headquarters. The delay seems to be from printers....

Mike V are u sure your info is correct?

It wouldn't be at the printer if both clubs/committees/chairmen hadn't approved.

I worked my way thru college at a print shop. It was always the printer's fault if something was delayed.

I don't have mine yet either. When I ordered and paid for them at Hershey they were going to be going right out. They've been teasing us for a while now but I guess we have no choice but to wait.

C26Pinelake 12-09-2016 11:22 PM

Re: Has anyone received the new Judging Standard?
 

You call it teasing, I call it a lack of credibility! Why has a member of the executive not replied to this thread ? Wayne

Are they at the printer? Makes no sense tome that a job should wait so long (Months) before being completed. That's money sitting on a computer file. Is business so good that they can wait months before pushing a button?

As I said above and in a couple of other places, I hope I'm wrong, I want to be wrong, I want it to be at the printers. I would love it if an officer of one of the clubs could give a definitive answer.

This topic draws responses similar to those by the many people who can't seem to resist repeatedly posting and complaining when they think their bi-monthly magazines might be running late to their mailbox.

It will be available when it is available, and it will be great!

You have a tremendous grasp of the obvious. The executive must live up to a high degree or level of integrity and deliver when promised. They also can not go into hiding when a contentious issue is raised which they seem to have perfected. The Chairnan should step forward with a factual statement. Wayne

When do the digital editions of the MAFCA newsletters come out?

Re: Has anyone received the new Judging Standard?
 

During the recent Model A club elections there was a gentleman on here severs limes a day answering questions and virtually begging for votes. He got elected but now he seems to have just about disappeared. Why is he not providing answers? Maybe he will not show again until next election. Wayne.

I talked to a "high up" person today that said the revisions "are" at the printer and the current plan is to be printed in a week. While I understand it's been awhile and like a kid waiting for Christmas, people become impatient. Stuff happens and those doing the work are volunteers so post #16 is the most sensible.

Everyone who subscribed to the digital edition of The Restorer will receive an email with a link, when it is up and ready to go, that you can follow to read it. The target for this email to go out will be right around the same time that the paper copies are mailed out. So you will get an email roughly every 2 months.

You should have access to this information. When will they be mailed. Why is the President and executive in hiding? why have they not issued an official statement. Wayne

That is great news, no really. That means the politics involved with two clubs joining to produce one common item is over. We just have to sit and wait.

Re: Has anyone received the new Judging Standard?
 

FYI, the following update was posted on the MAFCA home page regarding this:

RESTORATION GUIDELINES NOW AVAILABLE!

December 28 - The long awaited Revision 4 of the Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards are now in stock at the MAFCA Office. All preordered copies have been mailed. If you preordered a copy, you should be receiving it shortly.

We apologize for the delay, but we wanted our members to receive the best quality product possible.

The Guidelines remains a collaboration of both MARC and MAFCA. It will be available as a complete volume for $55 or just the Revision 4 update that you can add to your existing Guidelines for $30, both plus shipping.

To order online, click here: https://mafca.com/cart/index.php?show_price=yes

Or to order by phone, contact MAFCA Headquarters (562) 697-2712 Monday - Friday from 10AM to 4PM Pacific time.

New Release of Restoration Guidelines

December 17 - The long awaited Revision 4 to the Restoration Guidelines & Judging Standards was on its way to the MAFCA office when a mistake was discovered. The revision was not three-hole punched and rather than send our members a defective product, the truck was turned around and is going back to Michigan.

The RG&JS are shrink wrapped so the printer will need to open each package, three-hole punch them and reshrink wrap the book. This will take some time and delay our receipt of the new RG&JS until January. Both MARC and MAFCA apologize to the Model A community for the delay. This one was beyond our control. The printer is assuming full responsibility.
Doug Clayton, Publications Director

======================================

Total incompetence on the part of all involved. Talk about a Mickey Mouse organization! Wayne

Are you sure. The truck has hardly had enough time to turn around. Please post a picture because many of us are doubting you actually have it. Wayne

Seemingly the same people who repeatedly fret about the mail delivery of their MAN or Restorer, are only concerned with when it arrives, not what the content is.

Apparently there is nothing good to say about it, other than "Yeah! I got it in the mail" ?? :confused:

SMH


Yikes! Dude, chill out.

We are merely reporting that it has arrived. Had not yet even opened it when I reported. Like the rest of the guys, I will be going over it page by page. Just be patient, please.

Re: Has anyone received the new Judging Standard?
 

Since no replies i called the MARC office.. none of the orders there have been shipped... they didnt have a hole puncher nearby.... its gonna be a while more:mad:

Re: Has anyone received the new Judging Standard?
 

From the way it sounded MAFCA had the holes punched locally to expedite the process.. MARC shipped them all the way back to the original place... WTF

Got mine. I am impressed. lots of new photos. New mail truck, AA, Canadian, cabriolet sections. Well done JSCs
