Collectors Club:
We mentioned this last newsletter, but if you are not a member of the Myth and Magic club, then why not?!
The new club year is almost here, and members receive two issues of the club magazine with details of the competitions, news from the Tudor Mint, and advance notice of new studies. In addition they receive an exclusive standard sized presentation piece entitled "The Lookout", as well as the opportunity to purchase two collectors club studies entitled "The Crucible of Light" and "The Ancient Magic". There are no images of these pieces on the DragonsCavern website yet, but we will add them as soon we are able to.

So what are you waiting for, visit http://www.tudormint.info and click on the Collectors Club link.

Competition:
As it is Christmas Time, DragonsCavern has a competition for the subscribers to the newsletter. Work out the answer to the following puzzle, find the Tudor Mint item that matches the reference number you get as your answer and email it to webmanager@dragonscavern.co.ukAll correct entries will go into a draw to be held on December 31^st 2004. The winners will be contacted shortly afterwards to receive a medium sized study. Please note, only one entry per subscriber will be allowed.

Summoning the elements is divided by the number of treasure seekers before the executioner is added. Remove the journeys end, then multiply by how many duplicated study numbers are in the Arthurian Collection. Finally, remove a double century to leave which item from the Tudor Mint?

Requests:

If you have a prototype study, or a rare version of any please send a photo for inclusion on the prototype/rare studies pages. Use the submit form on the contact page of the website. In addition to this, the "Images Required" page of the website lists the studies that we are looking for images for. If you are able to help with those, please contact us.

That's all for this month. If you have any news, websites, announcements or comments that you would like to see in the next newsletter, or  if  you are a trader / collector who would like to be featured in an article in a future newsletter, please contact the webmanager.

Sincerely,
Webmanager
