A message from John Hoyle from WMBC:

"The December bulletin to members from WMBC was very inefficient to say the least. The mail distributers had a fault in their machine and upwards of 100 members did not get the bulletin.
 
Would it be possible to put out a note that any members not receiving the December bulletin should email John Hoyle at membership707@gmail.com to inform him of that fact"
