February Newsletter

Our Newsletter Editor, Kevin Davies, has continued his brand new format for the regular newsletter. Instead of one long document, 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 sections 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 will be able to read from within the body of the email.

The document is formatted as one long page and is intended to be viewed on a screen. However if you feel more comfortable reading it as a hard copy, you can print it by opening the document in this link - then sending it to your printer.

If you missed it in your emails, here it is:
