The Following announcement has been made by the Country Artists Guild.

Dear Country Artists Guild Member

We regret to announce that the Country Artists Collectors’ Guild will cease operating on 31st December 2010. This is due to the decreasing number of members of the Guild, and the lack of support for the special member-only figurines.

This means that if your membership is due for renewal in 2010 we will not be able to renew your membership, but we will continue to send out the regular mailings in 2010 including Country Letters. If you have already renewed your membership for 2010 we will be contacting you in due course, or if you renewed for two years in 2009, we will be sending you your 2010 renewal gift, Cock Sparrow automatically.

We will continue to service your membership for the whole of 2010 and you will receive your regular copies of Country Letters and your special Collectors’ hard-backed book, which will be the final edition. You will also receive your redemption form for the 2010 Member Only Figurine, Attentive Parent, which you can order in the usual way from your local Country Artists Stockist.

As a gesture of goodwill, we are offering the 2010 Symbol of Membership, Cock Sparrow at a special one off price of £10.00 to all of our current Guild members. This can be ordered via the Collectors’ Guild office, please telephone +44 (0)1228 404380 to place an order. Please note there is limited stock available of both the Sparrow and Attentive Parent and will only be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We also have a limited number of Country Letters binders available at the special price of £5.00.

I hope you have enjoyed your membership with us and would like to thank you for all your loyalty and support for Country Artists. If you have any queries regarding your Membership, please contact the Guild office. We are always happy to help.
