News about groups
If you would like to use the Weekly Update to publicise a new group or if you are a group coordinator and want to fill vacancies in a current group, please click here. Items about groups in the Weekly Update are included on a weekly basis and are not automatically repeated. They are however added to the Latest Information on the web site Welcome Page.
Please note: The Weekly Update Editor reserves the right to edit copy for brevity, clarity and house style, with your approval before it is published. We aim to keep the Weekly Update concise so people can scroll through it quickly. If an item relates to an existing group or event, we will hyperlink it to the relevant webpage for the full description and practical logistics.
