January Newsletter - New Format

Our Newsletter Editor, Kevin Davies, has developed a brand new format for the regular newsletter. Instead of a document that has sometimes been over 20 pages long, you will see a much shorter summary. You will be able to see very quickly all the topics that are being covered.

All your favourite departments will still be available, but you will need to click on a link in order to read the details. You may have already seen this newsletter emailed to you with an attached, short pdf document. In the future we are planning to send it as an e-Newsletter which you can read from within the body of the email.

If you missed it, here it is:
