Thanks to Paul for many, many hours of work I hope that this new method of distributing the newsletter will prove successful and that this webpage will be one you visit often.
As you can see you all have to “subscribe” to the newsletter and you can choose which version you would prefer – graphics or text only.   You will then get an acknowledgement e-mail and you must “click” on the link in this e-mail to validate your subscription.
This page, hopefully, will get better as time goes on – at least that is my aim.
