You
will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.
Our
preferred form is a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for
further information.
At
a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be
submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so
there may be a delay in their being used.
If
you are running a conference, we will usually run a link once only - and if you
don't have a website for it yet, then please tell us when you have.
Relevant
job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
