| Email Addresses | |||
| With our ever-growing mailing list and the increase in postal charges, we now need to look at ways to reduce costs. Emailing, instead of posting, our newsletter to as many people as possible is one way of doing this. If you have an email address that we can use as a way of communicating with you, we would be grateful if you would let us know, either by email or telephoning John or Lyn. | |||
