One Solution to the SS issue.
Something to think about.. Strikes are a luxury. & with escalating silver cost, past issues were "kinda" taken for granted.
The future of club strike issuances may all come to "Pre-order" sales only? when and if sufficiant orders are requested and paid for in advance - The club will issue/buy strikes on our behalf, without incurring any club debt. just a thought..
As in CCGT&CC convention pre-registration deadlines, a set deadline date is fixed & not negotiable once missed. ya snooze ya loose.
