Newsletter

[Stan Williams]

Blair,
You are correct in saying its a printed label, but they are not in alphabetical order.
They are printed in membership order and if anyone was at Rainford in February they may have seen the problems handing out the
newsletter.
From memory  59 newsletters where handed out, but it should have been around 80, but many members did not know there
membership number or could not remember it.
Bill was tearing his hair out and he did nt have much to start off with and he was nt really happy with me for having the idea to
give them out.
It took a couple of drinks in the pub after the show to ease the pain.
All these ideas seem simple until you attempt to do them and with people spread around the country I would suggest that makes
it more difficult.

Stan.

As I look forward to the email revealing the link to the newest NEWS it occurs to me to wonder if it could also be shared here on the forum?

I was and did see the issues he had... However it's not insurmountable, and this is a totally different scenario to that day, any requests for pdf versions must include membership number (from people's standing order details, or old label from the front of the News envelope, or even from their membership card!) Simples...

Lets wait and see and not make obstacles that are nothing of the sort...

Please?

Thanks for everyone's input and words of appreciation for the people who do the work.

First the good news is that the member who organises our printing has confirmed that he is confident he can get the May News printed and, if necessary, distributed.

Obviously things can change at a moment's notice, so despite people's efforts, perhaps we won't be able to do as usual. If that is the case the Committee will do its utmost to get the News to as many members as possible electronically, while intending to catch up with print copies as soon as we can.

To make this work, we do need up-to-date email addresses. Brian Ellsmore, the membership secretary, is currently checking everything we have (about 75% of the membership), but if you know of somebody who might not have made the Society aware of their (latest) email address, ask them to let Brian know: memsec@009society.com

I should state this does not affect our arrangements for Overseas members who receive electronic copies.

We will keep people informed here and on the website. I hope none of this becomes necessary, but it feels wise to have a plan in place in case it does.

Very pleased to report that the April 009 News dropped into my letterbox today, in Australia. One day after the March issue!

Sorry I should have quickly added that I received the link on Friday.  Thanks as always to all volunteers.
