Letterboxing cards

I didn't pick up any blank cards for letteboxing at the last meet and find myself getting short. Kountry Kit won't be getting any in for a month at least apparently. Can anyone help in suggesting an alternative source?

I picked up some cards at the Meet. I bought 200 thinking that (with my average of 55 letterboxes a year :lol: ) it would be enough. I have nearly used them up already.
So I picked up some blank postcards from Partners in New George Street. They cost me 99p per 50. Not exactly cheap, but a good Plan B.

Depends where you live KK, the guy who sells the cards at the Meet told me to get in touch if I ever needed cards, and he gave me a business card, which I put in a safe place!!!!
However I can get in touch with Woodstocks and they will know his contact info, and perhaps you can get them from him, as he is certainly the most reasonable, if he isn`t too far away that is..

Hi M & S, I did have a contact number for him some time ago and lost it. If you could get it that would be worth trying.

Just a tip for everyone - get them a thousand at a time - then it is unlikely you will run out - however I do like to get 200 oversized cards which I use from time to time

If all else fails I think I have some thin card and a guillotine here so I could cut a few for you to go on with.

If you are local then go to Ink print in Okehampton and ask for Les - he normally sells them at the meet too.

Thanks for all the info everyone and your kind offer Pat. I will give Les a ring and maybe my next walk will be Okehampton way :)
