Dear Member,

Over the last few months there have been exciting changes in the way the UKA communicates to its members. The development has been within the website and the level of email communication which is now made.

Following this edition on the Newsletter the following changes will take place: the Newsletter and its content will only be mailed out to those members who request it. This change has come about due to increasing costs and a recognition of the environmental impact of printing. A form has been included in within this edition. If you want to receive a Newsletter via the post then please fill in the form and return it to the stated address. If not, then please reuse / recycle the form!

At present we have some 300 people receiving postal newsletters

1 tree makes 16.67 reams of copy paper or 8,333.3 sheets

If an additional 300 people are collecting over the web (and not printing it out!), that's saving about 1/5th of a tree per edition.

This may not seem a lot, but as an organisation we can help to reduce unnecessary usage of resource and reduce our own carbon footprint.If you are an instructor or club official, please ensure that current and future members are made aware that they can collect the Newsletter online and that they should send their email and details: distribution@ukaonline.org.uk

Thank you,
