Well the problem of type of delivery is a side issue to this thread, and your point about the problem being lack of material is well made and accepted.
However the type of delivery is a legitimate problem in it's own right, but I suppose it is much more of a problem for us overseas members as (and I'll speak just for my self here as every ones exact situation is different) newsletters are generally received several weeks after UK based members, sometimes not at all (infrequently), and all too often damaged by rain.
To draw a not too long a bow, if Jeremy's plan to publish the next newsletter early takes place, and the worst delivery time I have experienced occurs for this current newsletter, members in the UK may be reading the next newsletter before I lay eyes on this one.
Having said that I do understand the reluctance of some members to go all digital, and that *reducing* the hardcopy count may not be economical (although retaining the present fee structure should cover that), so I can handle the present situation if necessary, as receiving that newsletter, whenever it gets here, is always a highlight (I know sad isn't it?
)
One more thing I would like to add to the mix however, I DO wish they could keep us informed about the status of the newsletter publication either by the official website (as they used to do) or this forum as I can never otherwise tell whether it's just late or gone astray again, and I hate nagging people via email etc. as they are generally busy enough.
