News Sheet Extracts

Extracts from past VMARS Monthly News Sheets…..

The News Sheet consists of Members’ contributions (items of news, forthcoming events, reports on events held, help-lines, letters to the Editor), Committee business (formal notices, minutes of meetings), the Saturday Morning Net Controllers Rota, and Members’ advertisements. Advertisements are also accepted from non-members and are identified as such. The News Sheet is published at the end of each month and may be delivered electronically (in colour) or by post on paper (grey scale). Members are invited to submit contributions by the deadline, preferably in electronic form. Images to support the text are particularly welcome. Generally, all material submitted by the deadline (a fortnight before publication) will appear in the respective issue of the News Sheet. Requests to place advertisements should be sent to editor@vmars.org.uk.
