RealClassic Magazine: Ready To Renew?
Home -> Magazine -> Renew

Renew Now!


You can renew your subscription to RealClassic magazine at any time - but ideally you need to do it before your existing subscription expires! Here's how...


When your copy of RealClassic magazine arrives each month, you should find a small panel on the front of the address label, which is there to remind you when your subscription expires. If TP manages to get the database sorted (and the printer hasn't run out of ink…) then the ink will turn red when your sub is about to expire, and the wee message will get a bit squeaky. That's the ideal moment to leap into action and renew your subscription.

Of course, if you forget or don't notice it then we will send you a reminder once your sub has lapsed. But each letter costs about 60p to do, which is pretty expensive given the low price of the magazine. So it's a great help to us if you can remember to renew without needing a separate reminder - it's less work for TP, too, so she tends to be a bit less grumpy!

RealClassic Club Membership

If you originally subscribed direct with us then you'll already be a member of the RealClassic subscribers' Club. If you just buy an occasional magazine then you're missing out on all sorts of goodies. RealClassic Club members receive:

  • The magazine delivered direct to your door, hot off the press
  • A personalised Membership Card, with your unique RC Club number
  • Discounts on RealClassic merchandise
  • An exclusive newsletter for RC Club Members only
  • Discounts on admission at sponsored shows and jumbles
  • A chance to win in the RC Club Member Draw each month
  • Access to the Members' Enclosure at sponsored shows and events
  • A HobNob or a Jaffa Cake when you wave your card at the RC Roadshow!

    Renew now and you'll keep your original RC Club Member number. If your subscription lapses then you could lose that low number (and be re-issued with a really high one! How awful!).

    Extend Your Sub!

    You're welcome to renew or extend your subscription at any time. It helps us a lot if you renew before your sub runs out because we won't have to send out hundreds of reminder letters. You can now renew for an entire year's worth of 12 issues.

    What's It Cost?

    Just £2.80 per issue. Yes: you did hear right. Less than three quid. Hardly expensive, eh? But if you renew right now then you need not pay even that much…

    12 issues delivered to the UK would normally cost £42, if you had to pay the full postage and cover price. But we want RealClassic to be Britain’s best-value old bike magazine, so if you renew your subscription today you’ll still pay less than thirty quid for 12 magazines. That’s a 30% saving on the cost of buying each magazine separately.

    Put simply - you pay just £29.50 for a full year's subscription.

    However there is a small extra charge of 45p if you want to pay online to cover the costs incurred in running the site. You can avoid the card charge by paying with a cheque, direct bank transfer, or in cash. If you'd like to contribue more to the costs of running of the site, click here.

    Overseas Renewals

    The same applies: a 12 issue subscription to RealClassic costs £35 for EU residents (including Eire) and £50 for everywhere else in the world (plus 45p per web transaction, as above).

    OK: How Do I Pay?

    Easy! Use your credit or debit card via our PayPal facility and click on one of the buttons to send the correct payment to us. Please confirm your mailing address AND your RC Club number if you know it.

    (And remember; there is a small extra charge of 45p if you want to pay online to cover the costs incurred in running the site. If you'd rather not pay the 45p fee then you can send a cheque for the standard amount, as before, or see us at a show and pay in cash. If you'd like to contribue more to the costs of running of the site, click here).

  • 12 Issues UK £29.50 + 45p
  • 12 Issues EUR £35 + 45p
  • 12 Issues Rest of World £50 + 45p

    You'll normally receive a return email within five working days confirming that your payment has been received. Sometimes it's quicker, but sometimes we're a bit slow because we're away from the office most weekends.

    If you'd rather pay by cheque then that's fine

    Please make your cheque payable to The Cosmic Bike Company Ltd and send it to PO Box 66, Bude, EX23 9ZX, UK.

    We need the following information from you:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Postcode
  • Email
  • Telephone

    You can also pay for RealClassic with a direct fund transfer to our bank account (useful for overseas readers or if you don't want to pay the 45p card charge). Email TP@realclassic.net and she'll give you all the bank details. Please remember to pay in GBP or add £7.50 to cover our bank's charges for a currency conversion.

    We will extend your existing subscription from its final issue. If you’re paying early (thank you!) the extra issues will be added onto the end of your sub. If your renewal is a bit late and you missed the current issue then we’ll send it out to you as soon as we receive your payment.

    Enjoy another year of the magazine!
