An urgent appeal by the RSPBB

28/11/2020

This is an urgent appeal by the RSPBB (the Royal Society of Purchasing Barney Bears).
Many of our brothers have found loving homes with group members, but for those left behind with Gar, life isn’t good.

It’s bad enough he has 2 Basset hounds which keep looking at us like chew toys, but now he’s started dressing us in Christmas tinsel and is playing ABBA and Shirley Bassey constantly on the wireless!

Please end our suffering - purchase a Barney bear in time for Xmas. If we hear ‘Big Spender‘ one more time, we’re going to leap into the coal fire. You can adopt us below; please help!

Enthusiasts 2021 Calendar available now

By Admin.

Our shiny new 2021 calendar - available to order now in our online shop - is the culmination of a significant collaborative effort involving a number of proud members, Phil & his team at Alvaston Press and also our own Admin team. We think the results are our best yet!

Priced at just £8.30 the new-style design is printed on A4 paper and hangs with 2 sides visible - a full A4 sheet for car photos and a further full A4 side for dates, giving plenty of space for important dates in your schedule.

Our grateful thanks to all the members who sent in their photographs - we were able to use most of them. A small number couldnt be included due to quality issues (print is more demanding than displaying on-screen) and we're sorry if you are disappointed this time.

Enthusiasts Teddy Bears coming soon

Do you remember your first Teddy? We all do at Admin Towers, and to help us through these dark times we're bringing back the Teddy Bear for today's generation as well as for those who just love a good cuddle - which is most of us if we're honest.

Meet Barney, our gorgeous and slightly grumpy Enthusiasts Teddy Bear dressed in a white t shirt that bears (geddit?) the group logo in full colour. Barney sits 20cm tall and is silky-soft - just made for cuddling! He can sit as comfortably at home as in the office or car, and will be priced at a very reasonable £6.25 + shipping.

Because Barney is hand-made, his appearance and colour can vary slightly. This long pile (haired) soft toy is recommended for children of 12 months and over with parental discretion advised, is CE marked and conforms to the European Regulations EN71.

Availability:
We are expecting Barney to arrive at Admin Towers as early as next week. As soon as everything is ready Barney will be made available in our online shop - we plan to start shipping him to his new owners in good time for Christmas, so watch this space!
