\title{Mailings for members}
\begin{article}
\vspace*{-0.5\baselineskip}
The committee has been asked, by a member, for a mailing list of
members of the group.  We find, on consulting the Data Protection
Registrar, that we may not legally provide such a list, and we are
investigating what is needed so that we should be able to supply such
lists in future.  It seems clear that members must be offered an
opt-out.

In the interim, we are offering members of the group the opportunity
of promoting occasional mailings.  We have offered such facilities, on
an \emph{ad hoc} basis, in the past: we have carried fliers for books,
and on one occasion for the \emph{Scientific Word} system.  Our
mailing mechanisms are not sophisticated, and significant insertions
may attract an extra charge, as will an insertion that increases the
mail cost.

Members who wish to take advantage of this service should contact the
membership secretary, in the first instance.
