November 2022 (Volume 17, Issue 11)

Hi Paddocks Press fan, 

Important dates and information for the end of 2022

Next month will see the release of the final Paddocks Press for 2022, as our offices will be closing for the Festive Season on 15 December 2022. In this forthcoming edition, which will arrive in your inbox on 14 December 2022, Graham will provide a year-end review, covering some highlights and important events that took place in the Paddocks fold over the last 12 months. Our offices will be reopening in the new year on 9 January 2023.

Book orders
As we will need to process, package and courier paperback book orders, please ensure that any paperback books that you would like to receive this year are ordered and paid for before Friday, 9 December 2022. These orders will then be couriered the following week, and any orders that come in thereafter will only be shipped in the week of 16 January 2023.

During the festive break, eBook orders will continue as normal, but please note that only credit card purchases done directly through the website will be processed. You can refer to the eBook Access Guide to help you to download and access your eBooks. Should you need to EFT for an eBook order, we will send your invoice during the week of the 9th - 13th January 2023.

Consulting
Our consulting team will be enjoying a well-deserved break, so all consulting matters that come in after 14 December 2022 will only be attended to in the new year.

Paddocks Club
Paddocks Club forums will continue to be monitored and questions answered during the period that offices are closed, except for public holidays.

For all our Paddocks Club members - please note that we have made some minor amendments to our Club Terms & Conditions.
