mugabe was kind enough to upload a scan of his numbered MR postcard from 1990 here:
#5654
that started me thinking.... have you got one? and what number is it?
i reckon with you lot on here we could probably account for a good few of those postcards
me? sadly i aint got one. didnt bother with the reptile house at the time... oh well.
so we have mugabe's 5654.
what number is yours?

I don't know about that particular postcard, but I was member number six. (Insert Prisoner joke here, I know...) Sadly I no longer have documentary proof (got the UTRs, don't got the envelopes that had the member number on).
Number five was a friend of mine, but I don't know who 1-4 were.

Mine was #3544.
I was also mentioned in UTR 7 as a lucky winner of a poll...

Mine's #6164.
Unfortunately, it's showing signs of wear, and has a bit of tape stuck to it from when I'd had it up on my uni dorm wall. I probably ought to take a little better care of it, eh?
Um... I don't remember ever being "thanked for my patience" - were you?!

no, never
Next thing I got from the Reptile House was a Flyer were all the stuff that the RH was selling at that time were listed with pictures and everything was written in german. Also the Membership with the UTR was advertised.
But I joined about 1 year later with UTR 5. But at that time it was possible to order all the old issues except UTR 1.
First I got from them was back in 1988, the "Merciful Information" with a short History and Discography. There was also my name handwritten and at the end a "More soon " and "Kaz" (The "more soon" came about 2 years later as the mentioned numbered postcard!!)
Someone knows who could be this "Kaz"??

yup, exactly !!
Just recognized that most of the UTRs are available as a scan! Wow!
I also can contribute the other UTRs as a scan, if wanted. I remember that there was also a german issue, anyone for this one?
Btw, the UTRs helped me really to keep my level in english language at that time! There were no Internet, and I was working as plumber. If there wasn't the UTR (and later Dominion) I wouldn't kept my level in english, what helps me nowadays a lot in my Job!

Am I right that these days Reptile House can offer only UTR 7 and 12? At least they didn't sell any more issues in Berlin last year.

All except issue 1 (photocopy only - thanks erudite
). Keep an eye on the weeding section.

I dont want to blow my own trumpet or anything (If I could I would be on the stage
)
These are scans of the information I was also sent in 1988, I dont have any idea who "Kaz" is / was - perhaps she/he ran "merciful release" or something?

Kaz was the editor I believe, and a Gooner, so a fine fine person.
