FORMATTING
Because we use a lot of volunteer time for produce the newsletter, it really helps us if you can:
• Send us in notices with all the information in them. We will not just roll over old notices because it takes too long to go back and find them!
• Write or copy the text into the email itself rather than sending as an attachment.
• Pdfs are more difficult for us to manage - they are better sent as a jpg or png (not more than 600px wide) or, better still, send us a link to them somewhere on the internet so we can use that instead.
• Send us photos or graphics not larger than 600 px wide and in jpg or png format, Photos graphics are best sent as attachments!


These things really help, however if any of this is difficult, (or you have no idea what we mean!) we'd rather have the information than not, so send us what you can and we'll do what we can. :-)

Cheers
Lynne, Chrys, and the team
