We are about to launch a new format email newsletter which we hope will allow more people to see more of what we do in the Sou'Westers.
Sou'Wester Shorts is an email based digest of Sou'Wester stories - a bit like CycleClips - published every few weeks. It's not intended to replace the paper Sou'Wester, but to complement it with the ability to have web links and colour pictures. It's compiled by Paul James, David Vine and Simon Lambourn, and the content comes from our existing blogs - Wayfarers, Beginners and Cheam & Morden,. So you will have seen some articles on the Beginners blog already, but you may not have seen the C&M or Wayfarers stories. We have been piloting it with a small audience, and we think it's ready for a full launch.
Distribution is handled by Google Groups, which has a list of emails to forward the newsletter to. When there's a new edition, it gets sent to everyone on the distribution list. It's simple to unsubscribe (click the link at the bottom of the email) but it seems a bit complicated to enrol at first, so we decided to automatically enrol all the Sou'Westers members. Of course you can unsubscribe at any time.
We are still learning, so we would welcome your feedback, and we hope you will like the new newsletter; Beginners who are not Wayfarers members should receive their first edition in two or three weeks' time.
