DELIVERY DATES 2024 (and order form) IMPORTANT INFORMATION (19.10.24)Email Circulation IssuesThe office has recently been experiencing serious technical issues circulating emails to WIs and Federation Committee members who have gmail or googlemail addresses. It is taking 24 hours before a “non-delivery" notification is received. A letter explaining this is being included in hard copy format in the November mailing which will be coming out to you on Tuesday 22nd October, both in hard copy and by email. The letter can also be viewed here. If you do not receive the e-version of the mailing BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT, please ring Helen to let her know and provide an alternative, non-Google email address for us to use this month. We very much hope that all these issues will be resolved very shortly and in the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding.
