Registered on line for York today. I noted that the registration page says badges will not be mailed until after October 1st.
Is this new? I recall getting badges sooner than that. As is we travel to York a week before the meet so there’s not much available mailing time.
Anyone else notice this?

I received my badge two weeks ago.
Got mine several weeks ago and it's already in the car so I don't forget it! I suspect they may be shipping them out in batches to minimize the administrative overhead.
What page was that on ?
It shows up when you register on line.
But no mention in the meet announcement mail out.
Received mine on 28 July.
Ordered mine a week and a half ago and got them yesterday!
Got mine at meet in April.
ordered mine a month ago or so and have not received it yet
Mine came either Thursday or Friday. I registered on-line about a week ago.
As for the people who mailed in their registration, unless you sent a self-addressed stamped envelope, you will have to pick yours up at York. They don't send them out otherwise.
The people registering on-line, pay extra, which is why they get them mailed out without the self-addressed stamped envelope.
I registered on line and the receipt I got from them said the badges would not be mailed out until after October 1st.

I went back and checked my email receipt. It did indeed say that the badges would be mailed after October 1st.
However, I registered on-line on July 19 and received my badge in the mail late last week.
Has anyone that signed up for tables at the registration desk last April received their badges yet? I registered and paid for tables for the first time in quite a while at the April meet and haven't received a badge with a table assignment.
Thanks!
Dave,
Tables with badges get mailed in early October. Thought I read in their one page ad in the TCA buy-sell book about that.
I got my badge 2 weeks ago and did it online in mid July.
As for another subject is I don’t understand how a friend received the York booklet in the mail about 2 months ago and he is not a TCA member. He got the booklet mailed for the last April meet and was not a member then. I’m a member and never received the York booklet for the last 2 Yorks but have attended every York meet missing 1 meet since 1992 counting out the Covid cancelled ones.
Doesn’t EDTCA update their mailing list? Obviously they don’t!

Ted:
Annoying anomalies like this happen from time to time. I would just call the ED. I'm sure they will straighten things out.

Registered online a couple of weeks ago. Received my badge late last week. No muss, no fuss. Like Gunrunnerjohn, mine is already in its badge holder and the car. All I have to do early in York Week is to pack a small suitcase with my shaving kit and some extra shirts and jeans, and I'll be all set. Also, for the Oct. meet, in particular, I stow a couple of jackets (various weights) in the car.

Received a booklet for the April Meet, but never did receive one of this coming Oct. Meet. No real problem because there's probably not much info in there that I don't know already.
Got my badge today - I'm ready
My badge in car too
An update. My badge arrived today.
no idea why it says the will be mailing after October 1st.
I got mine before I left York in April.
Now, where did i put the darn thing????

Don't laugh, I got my badge a while ago and it disappeared (I suspect I left it in a place where my wife was madly cleaning...and it disappeared. Fortunately I could order a replacement for a fee from EDTCA, which should show up soon. This is my third York and I have gotten the badges within a week or two of ordering them.
I never got my notice either, finally downloaded and printed and mailed it yesterday. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have to pick-up your badges at the Blue Hall if you do it online?

They mail it to you.
Oh. My mistake. I always thought you had to send a SASE.

If you mail it in then you need to send a SASE.

I don't recall how much more it costs to register online - I'm thinking a buck or two - but you save that much by not having to provide two envelopes and two stamps (one in each direction) when registering by mail.
The last couple of times, I've registered in advance at the meet - in the middle of the afternoon, the wait is brief or nonexistent. And there's no worry about anything being lost in the mail.

That first clip is from the great movie with Humphrey Bogart and a cast to remember: The Treasure of The Sierra Madre. Benito Alfonso Bedoya uttered that line that went on to be a classic. Yes: Bogart! Enjoy.
My table badges arrived today. At the spring meet, my son and I had 4 tables in the white hall and preregistered for fall at that time. However, I asked if we could move out of white and in to blue or silver. The badges I received today were for 4 tables in blue hall. My son and I really appreciate what Diana Hood (Registrar) was able to do for us.
Received a booklet for the April Meet, but never did receive one of this coming Oct. Meet. No real problem because there's probably not much info in there that I don't know already.
The York booklet makes good bathroom reading. LOL! See you in a few weeks.
