« on: October 05, 2023, 08:06:23 pm »
Does anyone know if the aco has been sending out the packs with the poster programme etc lately ?

I have been a member with ACO for about 20 years and have never been sent anything like that.

There is a "Collectors Pack" available from ACO - for only €160!

As far as I recall, the old members packs that we always used to get stopped last year, sadly.  I bought the full (expensive) pack last year simply because I wanted the DVD (as there is no longer a Duke version).  I was tempted to buy this year's but it's just too expensive to justify and I can download the video with English commentary from Youtube anyway.

I'm surprised at that.  I've been a member since 1997 and received the pack every year up to 2019, certainly.

I've always received the pack with few stickers poster and programme etc. Sometimes some official timing info too.

I am based in Ireland though i.e. still in the eu. But that doesn't explain the last twenty years or more for some of you. 🤔

Well, it had never been consistant what the ACO did. That some got their members pack and others didn't doesn't surprise me.
Remembers me somehow of the days when I still ordered numbered Bleu Nord campsite tickets with the ACO. This worked OK for 2 or 3 years, but then, after ordering 10 numbered tickets, I received a pack of campsite tickets with numbers spread all over Bleu Nord. Not even 2 pitches were next to each other...

I think it depends (depended?) of the type of subscription/membership you had.

We recieved the pack a couple of times years and years back, and haven't had it for years, but I changed our membership to the cheapest and lowest of all some years back because they started to erode all the previous benefits and make things we'd previously had optional extras to purchase. Our membership now includes nothing other than the ability to purchase tickets on the ACO members date and the option to pay through the nose for entry to the ACO enclosures.
