The newsletter distribution process for members is changing due to a shortage of volunteer deliverers and rising postal costs. The committee would like to thank all the hard-working hand deliverers for their efforts and kindness over the years. Here is a summary of the key updates:

The Change:

Starting with September’s issue, we will trial delivering all printed newsletters via Royal Mail instead of using local volunteers.

Costs and Funding:

• Printed Copies: To cover the increased postage, envelope and label costs, households will be asked to pay a £6 annual fee (covering all nine issues).
• Digital Copies: The downloadable email version remains free for all members.

Action Required:

If you wish to continue receiving a physical copy:

1. Notify the newsletter editor – newsletter@camelotareau3a.org

2. Submit payment of £6 to the Treasurer. Bank transfers are accepted. Payee name: Camelot Area u3a. Account number: 70218219. Sort code: 20-99-40. Payment reference: ‘Newsletter’ plus your membership number.

3. Deadline: Please respond by 1^st August. If no word is received by then, you will be automatically switched to the digital-only version.

Note: The £6 fee is per household, NOT per individual member.
