Digital Bulletins
Irrespective of your membership category, all members have access to digital copies of the news and handbook amendment Bulletins for the current year and last year. To access these go the Members Page (you must be logged in to your account to do this, using My Account at the top of every shop page), where you should see, in the Digital Bulletins section, three links that you can click on – the current set (for the latest month only), the current year and last year.
Please note that there are two versions of the UK Bulletin. There is a digital version of the printed Bulletin, as well as the more comprehensive E-Bulletin. If you are viewing on a mobile phone the former is recommended because its compact format is better suited to the small screen of a mobile. The E-Bulletin is in the format of an A4 full colour magazine and is best viewed on a tablet or larger screen.
For ease of maintenance, backup and security the digital Bulletins are stored in the Society’s Microsoft OneDrive area but members do not need to have their own OneDrive account to access the Bulletins (should a pop up screen appear suggesting you create one and you do not want to, just click the ‘No Thanks’ option at the bottom).
Other Downloads
Also available on the members page, in the lower sections, are various other downloads, free to members. The text for clickable option should be self-explanatory. Of particular relevance to new members may be the information booklet, which is renewed annually in January and contains contact and other details about the Society.
