WHAT’S ALL THIS?

Well, we’ve been a little busy recently ….. but you will have to have a read of our November Newsletter to find out just what we’ve been up to!

For those of you who subscribe, your Newsletter will materialise out of the ether and into your ‘in box’ at 0600 hrs on Wednesday 1st November, but I’m afraid that those who do not subscribe will have to wait a little longer! It should be available here, on the Club’s FaceBook page and on all the usual social media sites, hopefully, by 12th November (I am away on holiday ’til then) or before, if I can.

January Newsletter

Apologies to all non-subscribers to the Newsletter ….. it will be available on this web site, Facebook and a variety of other sites on Wednesday (2 Jan) evening ….. you have not been forgotten!

However, in future, you can ensure that you get your copy ‘hot off the presses’ by subscribing and it will be mailed to you direct, via ‘MailChimp’, on the first day of publication.

What can we say? It makes sense to subscribe (it’s free!) and you can ‘unsubscribe’ at any time with no questions asked. All you have to do is go to the ‘Newsletter’ option in the main menu and ‘sign up’! What is it that meerkat says? Simples!
