Findings from Publications Working Group<br />
The Publications working group’s findings were accepted by the May<br />
Committee Meeting and can be seen on the FRCC website (go to News and click on<br />
the link). One of the main elements of the report is the move to issuing more<br />
publications in digital form. This saves significant printing and postage costs as well<br />
being immediate and always available.<br />
It is recognised that not all members are yet able or willing to receive<br />
publications digitally so the transition will be carefully managed with the option of<br />
hard copy (i.e. paper copy) available.<br />
We currently hold email addresses for over 80% of Members either on the<br />
membership database or on the mailing list for the eNews. But we would also like<br />
to have email addresses for as many of the other 20% as possible. If your email<br />
address is not in the handbook and you do not get an eNews email please send<br />
details to frcc@nehaighton.co.uk giving your name and the email address you<br />
would like the Club to use.<br />
The first publication to be affected will be the next <strong>Chronicle</strong>. It would<br />
benefit the Club if as many people as possible agreed to read their <strong>Chronicle</strong> online.<br />
The cost of printing and posting 4 <strong>Chronicle</strong>s a year amounts to roughly £10 per<br />
member. Much of this can be saved for every member who signs up to opting-out<br />
of receiving a hard copy <strong>Chronicle</strong>. Similarly it would be appreciated if those households<br />
that receive more than one copy would agree to opting-out of the surplus<br />
copies.<br />
The October <strong>Chronicle</strong> will be issued in hard copy to those who don’t optout<br />
but the number of colour images will be reduced and these will be on the cover<br />
and centre pages only. All images will be in colour on the digital versions which will,<br />
of course be available sooner than the hard copies. Would those Members who are<br />
prepared to opt-out (or who wish to cancel any duplicates they get) please send<br />
their name and email address to frcc@nehaighton.co.uk .<br />
Wanted: Committee Members<br />
As already mentioned, nominations for committee members are required for the<br />
AGM. The nominations should be made by the end of August and given to Ron or<br />
Martyn. Please check that the member you are nominating is a full FRCC member<br />
and knows about your nomination.<br />
Becoming a committee member is a very important role in the life of the club. It<br />
enables members to see how a club runs behind the scenes. It also allows members<br />
to take part in decision-making and see how hard the many post-holders work.<br />
