bushman32 Posted November 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2023 I was wondering if the NRG has any plans to bring back the coffee mugs. My old coffee mugs are worn out and I would like to replace them. Thanks, Ron W. thibaultron, grsjax, catopower and 2 others 5 Quote Ron W.

Sounds like you're a heavy coffee drinker. I've broken a lot of mugs over the years, but I've yet to wear one out! mtaylor, Keith Black, thibaultron and 7 others 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightyo Posted November 3, 2023 Share #4 Posted November 3, 2023 Same here. I think I've even asked about them before, and was told the reason as to why they were no longer available. Of course, I've forgotten the reason.

rcweir Posted November 8, 2023 Share #10 Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) Navy coffee, on the other hand, was for connoisseurs! We made port visits in Australia a few many years ago and a cup of the wardroom java was a must-have for visitors. (I highly recommend choosing a service where you can take your diningroom and bedroom on every trip.)

I knew the NRG office was in your home so I figured that lack of space was the issue. I also assume that all NRG items currently for sale are stored in your home? if that's the case it's not right that your home has to be used as the NRG warehouse. I'm aware of the NRG's tight budget but having ample space to store NRG merchandise outside your home is something I feel is an issue that should be addressed and that we the NRG membership should be given the opportunity to financially support maintaining a space outside your home to warehouse all NRG merchandise and any non merchandise NRG items needing to be stored. I for one am sorry I never considered the sacrifice you and Mary have made over the years in this regard as it never crossed my mind. my apologies.

kurtvd19 Posted November 10, 2023 Share #17 Posted November 10, 2023 KEITH: The NRG does not move fast. I think it is one of the reasons we have lasted 75 years. Having limited storage space has kept us from ordering too much at one time, has made us really think before committing to new products, but has not hindered us much. The coffee cups were not moving at all. Nearly everybody had one or more and we were actually giving them away as door prizes, etc. It's going to be awhile before we have more storage space and maybe by then we will be able to find cups that are affordable. Take care. Keith Black, GGibson and mtaylor 2 1 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Keith Black Posted November 10, 2023 Share #18 Posted November 10, 2023 Kurt, I wasn't even thinking about coffee mugs in my previous post. I was thinking about NRG's current inventory and how it doesn't seem it fair that you and Mary are burdened storing those item. Thank you for your willingness to do so.
